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.
