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.
