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
