I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair

I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair

I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair

And send him on his way



I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms

I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms

I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms

And send him on his way



Don't try to patch it up

Tear it up, tear it up

Wash him out, dry him out

Push him out, fly him out

Cancel him and let him go



Yea, sister!



I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair

I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair

I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair

And send him on his way



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



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



You can't light a fire when the woods are wet

You can't make a butterfly strong

You can't fix an egg when it ain't quite good

And you can't fix a man when he's wrong



You can't put back a petal when it falls from a flower

Or sweeten up a fellow when he starts turnin' sour

Oh no! Oh no!



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 humdrumbum right out of your dreams



I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms

I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms

I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms

And sent him on his way



Walk him out

Dry him out

Push him out

Fly him out

And send him on his way!
