<br>
NOW THE FIRST WAY TO LOSE A MAN<br>
<br>
YOU’VE MET A CHARMING FELLOW AND YOU’RE OUT FOR A SPIN.<br>
THE MOTOR FAILS AND HE JUST WEARS A HELPLESS GRIN,<br>
DON’T BAT YOUR EYES AND SAY, “WHAT A ROMANTIC SPOT WE’RE IN.”<br>
<br>
Just get out, crawl under the car,<br>
tell him it’s the gasket and fix it in two seconds flat with a bobby pin.<br>
<br>
THAT’S A GOOD WAY TO LOSE A MAN.<br>
<br>
HE TAKES YOU TO A BASEBALL GAME,<br>
YOU SIT KNEE TO KNEE.<br>
HE SAYS, “THE NEXT MAN UP AT BAT WILL BUNT, YOU’LL SEE.”<br>
DON’T SAY, “OOOH, WHAT’S A BUNT? THIS GAME’S TOO HARD FOR LITTLE ME.”<br>
<br>
Just say, “Bunt? Are you nuts?!! With no outs, two men on base, <br>
and a left-handed batter coming up, <br>
you’ll walk right into a triple play just like it happened in <br>
the fifth game of the World Series in 1923.”<br>
<br>
THAT’S A SURE WAY TO LOSE A MAN.<br>
<br>
A SURE SURE SURE SURE WAY TO LOSE A MAN,<br>
A SPLENDID WAY TO LOSE A MAN.<br>
<br>
JUST THROW YOUR KNOWLEDGE IN HIS FACE,<br>
HE’LL NEVER TRY FOR SECOND BASE.<br>
Ninety-eight ways to go.<br>
<br>
THE THIRD WAY TO LOSE A MAN --<br>
THE LIFE-GUARD AT THE BEACH THAT ALL THE GIRLIES ADORE<br>
SWIMS BRAVELY OUT TO SAVE YOU THROUGH THE OCEAN’S ROAR,<br>
DON’T SAY, “OH, THANKS, I WOULD HAVE DROWNED IN JUST ONE SECOND MORE.”<br>
<br>
Just push his head under water and yell, <br>
“Last one in is a rotten egg” and race him back to shore!<br>
<br>
THAT’S A SWELL WAY TO LOSE A MAN.<br>
<br>
YOU’VE FOUND YOUR PERFECT MATE AND IT’S BEEN LOVE FROM THE START.<br>
HE WHISPERS, “YOU’RE THE ONE TO WHO I GIVE MY HEART.”<br>
DON’T SAY, “I LOVE YOU TOO, MY DEAR, LET’S NEVER NEVER PART.”<br>
<br>
Just say, “I’m afraid you’ve made a grammatical error<br>
it’s not ‘To who I give my heart,’ it's ‘To whom I give my heart’<br>
You see, with the use of the preposition ‘to,’ ‘who’ becomes the indirect object, <br>
making the use of ‘whom’ imperative which <br>
I can easily show you by drawing a simple chart”<br>
<br>
THAT’S A FINE WAY TO LOSE A MAN.<br>
<br>
A FINE FINE FINE FINE WAY TO LOSE A MAN,<br>
A DANDY WAY TO LOSE A MAN.<br>
<br>
JUST BE MORE WELL-INFORMED THAN HE,<br>
YOU’LL NEVER HEAR “O, PROMISE ME.”<br>
<br>
JUST SHOW HIM WHERE HIS GRAMMAR ERRS,<br>
THEN MARK YOUR TOWELS “HERS” AND “HERS.”<br>
<br>
YES, GIRLS, YOU TOO CAN LOSE YOUR MAN,<br>
IF YOU WILL USE RUTH SHERWOOD’S PLAN:<br>
