One Hundred Easy Ways Lyrics - Singles - Wonderful Town

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 

Tell him 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 guy up at bat will bunt, you'll see" 

Don't say, "Ooh, what's a bunt? This game's too hard for little old me" 

Just say, "Bunt? What are you nuts? With no outs, two men on base 

And a left-handed batter coming up, he'll walk right into a triple play 

Just like it happened in the fifth game of the world series in 1923" 

That's a sure way to lose a man 

A sure, sure, sure, sure way to lose a man 

A splendid way to lose a man 

Just throw your knowledge in his face 

He'll never try for second base, ninety-eight 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 ocean's roar, don't say, "Oh, thanks 

I would have drowned in just one second more" 

Just push his head under and yell 

"Last one in is a rotten egg", and race him back to shore 

That's a swell 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" 

Just say,"I'm afraid you've made a grammatical error 

It's not 'to' who I give my heart', it's 'to whom I give my heart' 

You see with the preposition 'to,' 'who' becomes the indirect object 

Making the use of 'whom' imperative which I can prove to you 

With this very simple chart 

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 be more well-informed than he 

You'll never hear "Oh, promise me" 

Just show him where his grammar errs 

Then mark your towels 'hers' and 'hers' 

Yes, girls, you too can lose your man 

If you will use Ruth Sherwood's plan
