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 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.
