INSTRUMENTAL

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 be a bachelor boy
Until your dying day.

When I was sixteen I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as could 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 dying 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 dying day.

Yehhh, I be a bachelor boy
And that's the way I'll stay.
Happy to be a bachelor boy,
Until my dying day.
