Lyrics
Gee, it’s great to be absolutely free
No one orders me around
The girls have always found
I simply won’t be bound
Now I have a fear, romance may be near
And you’re the one to blame, my dear
Refrain
I have always been a sort of woman hater
And I never met the girl I’d cater to
I considered every girl an agitator
Outside of you
Look at Cleopatra and Madame du Barry
They were pretty bad, if history is true
And I never saw the girl that I would marry
Outside of you
I won’t deny the fact that I
Thought women were a curse
But now my hate has turned to love
I don’t know which is worse
So if you don’t mind the fuss and all the bother
I would like to have a wife, a kid or two
And they should resemble no one but their father
Outside of you
