[Cm] [Fm/Ab] [G]
I hate men
[Bb] [Eb] [Ab] [Fm] [G]
I can't abide them even now and then
[C] [G]
Then ever marry one of them, I'd rest a virgin rather
[C] [G]
For husbands are a boring lot that only give you bother
[C] [G/D] [C/E] [Dm/F]
Of course, I'm awful glad that mother had to marry father
[D] [G] [C] [D] [G]
But, I hate men
[C/E] [G7] [C6] [G7]
Of all the types I’ve ever met in within our democracy
[C/G] [G7] [C6] [G7/D] [G7]
I hate the most the athlete with his manner bold and brassy
[C] [G7/C] [C7/E] [F6]
He may have hair upon his chesst, but sister, so has Lassie!
[Dm] [F6] [G7] [C]
Oh, I hate men!
[Db] [Gb] [Eb] [G]
[C/E] [G7] [C6] [G7]
If thou shouldst wed a business man, be wary, oh be wary:
[C/G] [G7] [C6] [G7/D] [G7]
He'll tell you he's detained in town on business neccesary
[C] [G7/C] [C7/E] [F6]
The business is the business that he gives his secretary!
[Dm] [F6] [G7] [C]
Oh, I hate men!
[Db] [Gb] [Eb] [G]
[Cm] [Fm/Ab] [G]
I hate men
[Bb] [Eb] [Ab] [Fm] [G]
Though roosters they, I will not play the hen
[C] [G]
If you espouse an older man through girlish optimism
[C] [G]
He'll always stay at home and night and make no criticism
[C] [G/D] [C/E] [Dm/F]
Though you may call it love, the doctors call it rheumatism
[D] [G] [C] [D] [G]
Oh, I hate men!
[Db] [Gb] [Eb] [G]
[C/E] [G7] [C6] [G7]
Of all I've read, alone in bed, from A to Zed about 'em
[C/G] [G7] [C6] [G7/D] [G7]
Since love is blind, then from the mind, all womankind should rout 'em
[C] [G7/C] [C7/E] [F6]
But, ladies, you must answer too, what would we do without 'em?
[Dm] [F6] [G7] [C]
Still, I Hate Men!
[C/E] [F] [Dm7] [G7] [Dm7/C] [C]
