I hate men

I can't abide them, even now and then

Than ever marry one of them I'd rest a virgin rather

For husbands are a boring lot and only give you bother

Of course I'm awfully glad that mother had to marry father

But I hate men

Of all the types I've ever met within our democracy

I hate the most the athlete with his manner bold and brassy

He may have hair upon his chest, but sister, so has Lassie

Oh I hate men

I hate men

Their worth upon this earth I dinna ken.

Avoid the trav'ling salesman though a tempting Tom he may be,

From China he will bring you jade and perfume from Araby,

But don't forget 'tis he who'll have the fun and thee the baby,

Oh I hate men.

If thou shouldst wed a businessman, be wary, oh, be wary.

He'll tell you he's detained in town on business necessary,

His bus'ness is the bus'ness which he gives his secretary,

Oh I hate men!

I hate men

Though roosters they, I will not play the hen

If you espouse an older man through girlish optimism

He'll always stay at home at night and make no criticism

Though you may call it love, the doctors call it rheumatism

Oh I hate men

From all I've read alone in bed from A to Z about them

If love is blind, then from the mind all womankind should rout them

But ladies, you must answer to, "What would we do without them?"

Still I hate men
