When i was young my father said

"son i have something to say"

And what he told me i'll never forget

Until my dyin' day.

He said "son you are a bachelor boy

And that's the way to stay.

Son, you be a bachelor boy until your dyin' day



When i was sixteen i fell in love

With a girl as sweet as could be.

But i remember'd just in time,

What my daddy said to me.

He said "son you are a bachelor boy

And that's the way to stay.

Son, you be a bachelor boy until your dyin' day



As time goes by i propably will

Meet a girl and fall in love

Then i'll get married have a wife and a child

And they'll be my turtle doves.

But until then i'll be a bachelor boy and that's the way i'll stay,

Happy to be a bachelor boy,

Until my dyin' day.

But until then i'll be a bachelor boy and that's the way i'll stay,

Happy to be a bachelor boy,

Until my dyin' day.
