I hate men, I can't abide them even now and then
Then ever marry one of them, I'd rest a maiden rather
For husbands are a boring lot that only give you bother
Of course, I'm awful glad that mother had to marry father
Still, I hate men

Of all the types of men I've met in our democracy
I hate the most the athlete with his manner bold and brassy
He may have hair upon his chesst, but sister, so has Lassie
Oh, I hate men

I hate men, there worth upon this earth I cannot tend
Avoid the traffic sales men atempting Tom he maybe
From China he will bring you jade and perfume from Arabi
But don't forget tis he who'll have the fun and be the baby
Oh I hate men

If thou should'st wed a businessman, be wary, oh be wary
He'll tell you he's detained in town on business neccesary
The business is the business that 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 and night and make no criticism
Though you may call it love, the doctors call it rheumatism
Oh, I hate men

Of all I've read, alone in bed, from A to Zed about 'em
Since love is blind, then from the mind, all womankind should rout 'em
But, ladies, you must answer too, what would we do without 'em?
Still, I hate men
