The Girls' Song

"The Girls' Song" is a song written by Jimmy Webb and performed by The 5th Dimension. The song was produced by Bones Howe and arranged by Webb. It was featured on their 1967 album, The Magic Garden, but was not released as a single until its release from their 1970 album, Greatest Hits.

By Webb's own admission, this was his attempt to write a song that sounded like the work of Burt Bacharach. As Webb wrote upon Bacharach's death, "I learned about chords from listening to Burt’s songs on the radio. I tried to write like him (listen to my song 'The Girl’s Song' by The Fifth Dimension). He was integral to my informal songwriting education."
