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 days 
 [bad word] 

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 days 

When I was 16 I fell in love 
With a girl as sweet as can be 
But I remembered just in time 
What my daddy said to me 
 [bad word] 

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 days
