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. 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. 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. 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.
