When I was young, my father said
"Son, I've got something to say."
And what he told me I'll never forget until my dying day
He said, "Son, you'll be a bachelor boy
And that's the way to stay
Son, you'll be a bachelor boy until your dying day."
When I was sixteen I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as can be
But I remembered just in time what my daddy said to me
He said, "Son, you'll be a bachelor boy
And that's the way to stay
Son, you'll 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 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 day
Yeah, I'll be a bachelor boy
And that's the way I'll stay
Happy to be a bachelor boy until my dying day
"Son, I've got something to say."
And what he told me I'll never forget until my dying day
He said, "Son, you'll be a bachelor boy
And that's the way to stay
Son, you'll be a bachelor boy until your dying day."
