Lyrics
When I was young, my father said
"Son, I have 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
But 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, I'll be a bachelor boy
And that's the way I'll stay
Happy to be a bachelor boy
Until my dyin' day
Writer(s): Bruce Welch, Cliff Richard
