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.
