I Hate Men Lyrics - Singles - Kiss Me Kate

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 wed 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
