"Bachelor Boy" lyrics

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.

[Chorus 1:]
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.

[Chorus 1]

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.

[Chorus 2:]
But until then, I'll be a bachelor boy
and that's the way I'll stay-yay-yay,
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-yay-yay,
Happy to be a bachelor boy until my dying day.
