Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
He said "Son, you are a bachelor boy
And that's the way to stay
Son, you be your bachelor boy
Until your dyin' day"
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
He said "Son, you are a bachelor boy
And that's the way to stay
Son, you be your bachelor boy
Until your dyin' day"
[Verse 5]
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 turtledoves
[Verse 6]
But until then I'll be your bachelor boy
And that's the way I'll stay
Happy to be your bachelor boy
Until my dyin' day
[Verse 7]
Yeah, I'll be your bachelor boy
And that's the way I'll stay
Happy to be your bachelor boy
Until my dyin' day
Written by: Bruce Welch, Cliff Richard
