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 be a bachelor boy Until your dying day
When I was sixteen, I fell in love With a girl as sweet as could be
But I remember 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 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 turtle dove
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 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 dying day
