Standard (EADGBE)

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 day.

 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 day.'

When I was sixteen I fell in love with a girl as sweet as

can be.

 But I remembered just in time, what daddy said to me. He said...

Chorus

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, that's the way I'll stay,

 happy to be a bachelor boy, until my dying day, Yeah...

I'll be a bachelor boy, that's the way I'll stay.

 Happy to be a bachelor boy, until my dying da...y.
