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
