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 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.

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.
