Son, you be a bachelor boy until your dyin' day When i was sixteen i fell in love With a girl as sweet as could be. But i remember'd 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 propably 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 i'll be a bachelor boy and that's the way i'll stay, Happy to be a bachelor boy, Until my dyin' day.
