When I was young my father said
"Son, I have got something to say"
And what he told me, I′ll never forget
Until my dyin' day

He said, "Son, you are a bachelor boy
And that′s the way to stay
Son, you be a bachelor boy
Until your dyin' day?

When I was sixteen I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as can be
Then 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 be a bachelor boy
Until your dyin′ 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 dyin' day
But until then

Yeah, I′ll be a bachelor boy
And that's the way I'll stay ay ay
Happy to be a bachelor boy
Until my dyin′ day ay ay ay ay ay ay
