(1963)
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 day
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 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 are 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
