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
