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
