When I was young my father said
Son I have something tosay
And what he told me I'll never forget
untilmy dyin' day.
He said Son you are a bachelor boyand that's the way to stay.
Son, you be a bachelorboy until your dyin' day

When I was sixteen Ifell in love
with a girl as sweet as could be.
But Iremember'd just in time,
what my daddy said to me.He said Son you are a bachelor boy
and that's theway to stay.
Son, you be a bachelor boy until yourdyin' day

As time goes by I propably willmeet a girl and fall in love
Then I'll get marriedhave a wife and a child
and they'll be my turtledoves.
But until then I'll be a bachelor boy andthat's the way I'll
stay,
Happy to be abachelor boy,
until my dyin' day.
But until thenI'll be a bachelor boy and that's the way I'llstay,
Happy to be a bachelor boy,
until mydyin' day.
