Lyrics:

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 can 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 be a bachelor boy until your dyin' 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 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
