BACHELOR BOY
(Cliff Richard-Bruce Welch)

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 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 turtledoves

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

Yeah, I’ll be a bachelor boy
And that’s the way I’ll stay
Happy to be a bachelor boy until my dying day-ay-ay-ay
