  • When I was young my father said
    Son I have something to say
    And what he told me Ill never forget
    Until my dyin day.
    He said son you are a bachelor boy
    And thats 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 rememberd just in time,
    What my daddy said to me.
    He said son you are a bachelor boy
    And thats 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 Ill get married have a wife and a child
    And theyll be my turtle doves.
    But until then Ill be a bachelor boy and thats the way Ill stay,
    Happy to be a bachelor boy,
    Until my dyin day.
    But until then Ill be a bachelor boy and thats the way Ill stay,
    Happy to be a bachelor boy,
    Until my dyin day.
