Now 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 get 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 man up at bat will bunt, you’ll see.’ Don’t say, ‘oooh, what’s a bunt’ This game’s 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, You’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 water 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 use of the preposition ‘to,’ ‘Who’ Becomes the indirect object, Making the use of ‘whom’ Imperative which I can easily show you by drawing a 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 ‘o, 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: One hundred easy ways to lose a man!
We heard this on the radio a few days ago. When she said to push his head under water and yell, "Last one back to shore's a rotten egg!" my son and I couldn't stop laughing
Back in 1963/4, as 8th graders, our Home Ec teacher admonished my cousin and me for competing with the boys for grades (and besting them). She told us we'd never catch husbands if we didn't act more "feminine". My cousin and I looked at each other, both thinking, "is this bimbo nuts?" We both graduated college, she with a degree in education and I with one in mechanical engineering. We both married men with college degrees and had families. Neither of us ever had to bat our eyelashes or play silly games of having a fit of the vapors.
Ughhhh I was looking for this for so long, I couldn’t remember anything about it except she fixed the car and the preposition part 😭 it’s impossible to google Kristin chenoweth fix a car somg 😂😂😂

Saw this performed by the great Maureen Lipman. Ms Chenoweth does it justice, but being so young has not necessarily been around the block as much as the character would suggest. Despite sounding like a purist, I liked this performance very much.
oh side note this is actually a good way to weed out guys that aren’t worth your time. like obviously don’t be (very) rude, but show him up a few times. it’ll show you whether he wants a girlfriend or a barbie doll to play with.
The rest of it was really predictable after the first one, thinking that men stop dating you once you're better than them in something, or can actually have a conversation in things that they're interested in, wow. Total turn off's
I love what she does when she sing "I love you too my dear lets never ever part." XD it's just soo funny to me for some reason
Omg I completely agree
This audience was so dry, this is a hilarious song and Kristen makes it even better.
Love her little "Yeah!" at the end
She's awsome. Actually like her version more than the original. :)
I want to know where her lungs 🫁 are. She is tiny and has such amazing breath and skill.
Dang, what a tough crowd! She did great!
Forget how to lose a man!I learned the difference between who and whom!!!
Spidergirl nice profile picture
_What is it?_
@@calamity2383 a disease
I wish that was my problem. So how do we get a man in the first place?

Jane Doe 😂😂😂
Jane Doe OMGGGG hahahaha

Definitely, i want to hear all 100 ways.
This is the full song lol
Now 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 get 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 man up at bat will bunt, you’ll see.’
Don’t say, ‘oooh, what’s a bunt’ This game’s 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,
You’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 water 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 use of the preposition ‘to,’ ‘Who’ Becomes the indirect object,
Making the use of ‘whom’ Imperative which
I can easily show you by drawing a 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 ‘o, 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:
One hundred easy ways to lose a man!
Chenoweths plan*
Shayna Jordan It’s actually just whoever is singing the song.
We heard this on the radio a few days ago. When she said to push his head under water and yell, "Last one back to shore's a rotten egg!" my son and I couldn't stop laughing
So basically how to lose a man - be smart.
More like 'how to lose a prick' haha
*smarter than him
It's a song written in 1953, try and just enjoy a wonderful performance,. And be grateful you don't like in the 1950's.
Then I’ll never lose a man.

I would love a full 1,5 hour all 100 ways version of this.
She brings glee to my life.
Wonderful. She did a great job.
That's why I'm still single! I now understand 😂
KC did great on this!!!
I saw Rosalind Russell do this in the original Broadway show 'Wonderful town'. She was hilarious. Believe it or not, music by Leonard Bernstein
So that's what I've been doing wrong. Oops.
Oh my God, I love her 😂
I honestly wish this was longer
priceless!
If I girl did this when we were dating I'd marry her on the sppt
I love her! So funny!
Thanks for posting this!
Ughhhh I was looking for this for so long, I couldn’t remember anything about it except she fixed the car and the preposition part 😭 it’s impossible to google Kristin chenoweth fix a car somg 😂😂😂

This is great!!! What is the original version?
ZzTouchezZ HPA it's from "wonderful town"!
Although I adore Kristin Chenoweth, I prefer the version from Donna Murphy. Still, this is a great performance!!
But what are the other 97 ways? We should compare notes.
Short summary: Be really smart to lose a man
Queen!
god i love kristin
fabulous
I started hyperventilating when I saw this in my recommended :)
it was first subng by Rosalind Russell in Wonderful town in1953.
Charming.
Saw this performed by the great Maureen Lipman. Ms Chenoweth does it justice, but being so young has not necessarily been around the block as much as the character would suggest. Despite sounding like a purist, I liked this performance very much.
How old do you think Ms Chenoweth is in this performance? She was born in 1968.
Oh my goodness, when she said to who my mind corrected her "to whom" and then she said it lol
I need the rest
oh side note this is actually a good way to weed out guys that aren’t worth your time. like obviously don’t be (very) rude, but show him up a few times. it’ll show you whether he wants a girlfriend or a barbie doll to play with.
WOW
Well the bad thing about me is that I won't find a manz in the first place ;-;
I love her face :)
And her voice too~ XD
Oh man i love this queen wjen im drank
Lmao oh my god this is hilarious
Well damn

❤Кристин Великая универсальная непревзайденная Певица иАктриса .Брависсимо ооо❤. 2:48
I WANT TO HEAR THE OTHER 96 WAYS SHE ONLY DID 4
4'11" Cutie-pie. Living proof that good things come in small packages.
she only gives you only four ways to lose a man😂
Do them 25 times
Aw I thought she actually was going to cover 100 things
I love her, obviously, but I just realized that her posture leaves something to be desired.
Oh stfu
How can I buy this song?
I had tickets to see her! But then she suddenly canceled her tour! Now I'm seeing ABBA which I mean yes but still...
So THAT'S why I'm still single...
Does anyone know what key she is in?
that's easy, she's in D major.
And that's why I never go on any dates!
THIS IS ME
Wendy Tessaburger @ Stan tbhhhhhhhhh
But why is this me?
ok wig
😂😂
Lol.
The first way to lose a man is be a man on your first date with him.
4000 likes 40 dislikes. I cant like it now
she's great, but she's not Roz Russell
Also known as how to find a lesbian
Okay but these are all ways to keep a man these days
Okay except the who/whom thing 😂😂
I prefer Julia Murney's version slightly more but this is funny
The rest of it was really predictable after the first one, thinking that men stop dating you once you're better than them in something, or can actually have a conversation in things that they're interested in, wow. Total turn off's
You act as if we care about what turns you on, lol.
Well... this sounds awfully misandristic.
I know right!
So the song worked then?
