[00:00.000]When I was young my father said
[00:11.443]"Son, I have something to say"
[00:14.704]And what he told me, I'll never forget
[00:18.590]Until my dyin' day
[00:21.824]He said, "Son, you are a bachelor boy
[00:25.611]And that's the way to stay
[00:29.226]Son, you be a bachelor boy
[00:32.699]Until your dyin' day"
[00:35.918]When I was sixteen I fell in love
[00:41.544]With a girl as sweet as can be
[00:44.648]But I remembered just in time
[00:48.555]What my daddy said to me
[00:51.569]He said, "Son you are a bachelor boy
[00:55.683]And that's the way to stay
[00:59.143]Son, you be a bachelor boy
[01:02.699]Until your dyin' day"
[01:06.176]As time goes by, I probably will
[01:11.673]Meet a girl and fall in love
[01:15.182]Then I'll get married, have a wife and new child
[01:18.834]And they'll be my turtle doves
[01:21.648]But until then, I'll be a bachelor boy
[01:25.865]And that's the way I'll stay
[01:28.823]Happy to be a bachelor boy
[01:33.024]Until my dyin' day
[01:35.977]Yeah, I'll be a bachelor boy
[01:40.072]And that's the way I'll stay
[01:43.269]Happy to be a bachelor boy
[01:47.153]Until my dyin' day
