[Nellie][Chorus:]
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair[x3]
And send him on his way
I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms
[Nellie and Girls:]
I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms[x2]
And send him on his way
Don't try to patch it up
[Girls:
Tear it up, tear it up!
Nellie:]
Wash him out, dry him out
[Girls:]
Push him out, fly him out
[Nellie:]
Cancel him and let him go!
[Girls:]
Yea, sister!
[Nellie][Chorus]
If a man don't understand you
If you fly on separate beams
Waste no time, make a change
Ride that man right off your range
Rub him out of the roll call
And drum him out of your dreams
[Girls:]
Oho! If you laugh at different comics
If you root for different teams
Waste no time, weep no more
Show him what the door is for
Rub him out of the roll call
And drum him out of your dreams
[Nellie:]
You can't light a fire when the woods are wet
[Girls:]
No!
[Nellie:]
You can't make a bu*terfly strong
[Girls:]
Hmm, hmm!
[Nellie:]
You can't fix an egg when it ain't quite good
[Girls:]
And you can't fix a man when he's wrong!
[Nellie:]
You can't put back a petal when it falls from a flower
Or sweeten up a fellow when he starts turnin' sour
[Girls:]
Oh no! Oh no!
[Nellie and Girls:]
If his eyes get dull and fishy
When you look for glints and gleams
Waste no time
Make a switch
Drop him in the nearest ditch!
Rub him out of the roll call
And drum him out of your dreams
Oho! Oho!
[Nellie][Chorus]
[Girls][Chorus:]
She went to wash that man right outa my hair[x3]
Nellie and Girls][Chorus:]
And send him on his way!
