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!
