Lyrics

[00:00.00] Girls, are you constantly bothered by the cloying attentions of the male sex?
[00:04.69] Well, here's the solution for you
[00:06.61] Get Ruth Sherwood's new bestseller:
[00:09.01] 100 Easy Ways to Lose a Man
[00:14.81] Chapter One
[00:17.27] Now the first way to lose a man
[00:21.41] You’ve met a charming fellow and you’re out for a spin.
[00:26.45] The motor fails and he just wears a helpless grin,
[00:31.08] Don’t bat your eyes and say, ‘what a romantic spot we’re in.’
[00:36.87] Just leap out, crawl under the car,
[00:39.01] Say it’s the gasket and fix it in two seconds flat with a bobby pin.
[00:41.99] That’s a good way to lose a man.
[00:47.05] He takes you to a baseball game,
[00:49.11] You sit knee to knee.
[00:51.46] He says, ‘the next man up at bat will bunt, you’ll see.’
[00:56.27] Don’t say, ‘oooh, what’s a bunt’ This game’s too hard for little me.’
[01:02.58] Just say, ‘bunt’ Are you nuts’!! With one out, two men on base,
[01:06.67] And a left-handed batter coming up,
[01:07.92] You’ll walk right into a triple play just like it happened in
[01:09.82] The fifth game of the world series in 1923.’
[01:12.65] That’s a sure way to lose a man.
[01:16.91] A sure sure sure sure way to lose a man,
[01:20.28] A splendid way to lose a man.
[01:22.64] Just throw your knowledge in his face,
[01:25.14] He’ll never try for second base.
[01:29:79] Ninety-eight ways to go.
[01:33.01] The third way to lose a man --
[01:37.30] The life-guard at the beach that all the girlies adore
[01:42.54] Swims bravely out to save you through the ocean’s roar,
[01:47.34] Don’t say, ‘oh, thanks, I would have drowned in just one second more.’
[01:53.32] Just push his head under water and yell,
[01:55.24] ‘Last one in is a rotten egg’ And race him back to shore!
[01:59.89] That’s a swell way to lose a man.
[02:04.19] You’ve found your perfect mate and it’s been love from the start.
[02:09.07] He whispers, ‘you’re the one to who I give my heart.’
[02:13.82] Don’t say, ‘I love you too, my dear, let’s never never part.’
[02:20.94] Just say, ‘I’m afraid you’ve made a grammatical error
[02:23.52] It’s not ‘to who I give my heart,’ It's ‘to whom I give my heart’
[02:27.46] You see, with the use of the preposition ‘to,’ ‘Who’ Becomes the indirect object,
[02:29.96] Making the use of ‘whom’ Imperative which
[02:31.62] I can easily show you by drawing a simple chart’
[02:35.26] That’s a fine way to lose a man.
[02:39.29] A fine fine fine fine way to lose a man,
[02:42.67] A dandy way to lose a man.
[02:45.09] Just be more well-informed than he,
[02:48.17] You’ll never hear ‘o, promise me.’
[02:52.15] Just show him where his grammar errs,
[02:55.38] Then mark your towels ‘hers’ And ‘hers.’
[02:59.02] Yes, girls, you too can lose your man,
[03:02.04] If you will use Ruth Sherwood’s plan:
[03:05.62] One hundred easy ways to lose a man!
