Lyrics

Effie, Madge, Mabel, Biddie
See them on the beach
Or in New York City
Tina, Louise, and Hazel and Mavis
Can you name, name, name, name them today?
Can you name, name, name, name them today?
Wanda and Janet and Ronnie and Reba, oh, oh, oh, oh
These are the girls of the USA
The principal girls of the USA
Can you name, name, name, name them today?
Can you name, name, name, name them today?
Oh, oh, oh, Kate, Kate, Cindy, and Crystal and Candy
Mercedes and Joan, Betty and Brenda
Suzie and Anita and Phoebe and Jack, Jackie, oh, oh, oh, oh
These are the girls of the USA
The principal girls of the USA
Can you name, name, name, name them today?
Can you name, name, name, name them today?
Can you name, name, name, name?
