When I was young my father said

'Son I have something to say'

And what he told me I'll never forget

Until my dying days

CHORUS

He said son you are a bachelor boy

And that's the way to stay

Son you'll be a bachelor boy

Until your dying days

When I was 16 I fell in love

With a girl as sweet as can be

But I remembered just in time

What my daddy said to me

CHORUS

As time goes by I probably 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 dying days
