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 maiden rather

For husbands are a boring lot and only give you bother

Of course, i'm awfully glad that mother deemed 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

They should be kept like piggies in a pen

Don't wet a trav'ling salesman though a tempting tom he may be

For on your wedding night he may be off to far araby

While he's away in mandalay it is thee who have 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 business is the business with his pretty 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

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

But, ladies, you must answer too, what would we do without them?

Still, i hate men
