LYRICS
The first way to lose a man
You’ve met a charming fellow and you’re out for a spin
The motor fails and he just wears a helpless grin
Don’t bat your eyes and say: “what a romantic spot we’re in”
Just leap out, crawl under the car
Say it’s the gasket and fix it in two seconds flat with a Bobby pin
That’s a good way to lose a man
He takes you to a baseball game
You sit knee to knee
He says: “The next man up at bat will bunt, you’ll see.”
Don’t say: “oooo what’s a bunt? This games too hard for little me.”
Just say: “Bunt? Are you nuts? With no outs, two men on base and a left-handed batter coming up next, you’ll walk right into a trouble play just like it happened in the 5th game of the World Series in 1923”
That’s a fine way to lose a man
A fine fine fine fine way to lose a man
A dandy way to lose a man
Just shove your knowledge in his face
He’ll never try for second base
(98 ways to go)
The third way to lose a man
the life guard at the beach.
That all the girlies adore
swims bravely out to save you through the oceans roar
Don’t say: “oh thanks! I would have drowned in just one second more.”
Just push his head under water
yell: “Last one in is a rotten egg”
And race him back to shore
That’s a sure way to lose a man
You’ve found your perfect mate and it’s been love from the start
He whispers: “You’re the one to who I give my heart.”
Don’t say: “I love you too my dear. Let’s never never part.”
say: “I’m afraid you’ve made a grammatical error.
It isn’t to WHO I give my heart, it’s to WHOM I give my heart.
You see with the use of the preposition ‘to’, ‘who’ becomes the indirect object
Which I can easily show you with this easy chart
That’s a swell way to lose a man
