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.
