I Hate Men (from Kiss Me Kate) - Kathryn Grayson

I hate men

I can't abide them 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 deigned 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 piggys in a pen

Don't wear a traveling 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

'Tis thee who'll have the baby

Oh I hate men

If thou shouldst we'd 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 Zed about them

Since 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
