I Hate Men

I hate men
I can't abide 'em 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 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!
