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 day.
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 day."
When I was sixteen I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as ca be.
But I remembered 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'll be a bachelor boy,
Until your dying day."
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 turtledoves.
But until then I'll be bachelor boy.
And that's the way I'll stay.
Happy to be a bachelor boy
Until my dying day.
Yeah, I'll be a bachelor boy.
And that's the way I'll stay.
Happy to be a bachelor boy
Until my dying day.
