Let me introduce meself,
Me name ‘tis Paddy Green
I am me mammy's pride and joy
A fine oul' buachaillin!
I come from the county Waterford,
Near the village of Tramore,
I've been living at home since I was one,
And now I'm forty-four!
Chorus:
I was born to be a Bachelor,
I'll never walk down the aisle,
Me mam still makes me breakfast,
(I'm) Livin' it up in shtyle,
Girls, ye'll never catch me,
Stayin' single, that's the plan
I was born to be a Bachelor,
Sure I'm yer only man! Hah?
Into town on the Saturday night,
All the b'ys go on a spree,
If you come down to the dishco,
You can have a drink with me!
With the ladies on the dance floor,
I'm a wild and crazy guy,
In me white socks and me black suede shoes,
and me thin red leather tie!
Chorus
Then it's off to ma** next morning,
I'm wearin' me Sunday best,
I've got no wife to fight with,
So I've no sins to confess!
After church, the married men
go home, oh what a shame!
‘Cause I'm scullin' da pints down at the pub
I'm watchin' the football game!
Chorus
I'm a ramblin' ranter, I'm a rollin' stone,
I'm a galavanter' g'wan an leave me alone,
If yer out to get married, you'll get no joy,
Cause I was born and bred to be a bachelor boy!
Up in Lisdoonvarna,
They've an old matchmaker's fair,
The girls all go a huntin'
So you'll never see me there!
I've got a Russian sweetheart,
A fine oul' thing is she!
She's out in Vladivostok
And that's close enough for me!
