Cliff Richard, The Michael Sammes Singers - Bachelor Boy lyrics

When I was young, my father said
"Son, I've got something to say"
And what he told me I'll never
Forget until my dying day

He said, "Son, you'll be 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'll be a bachelor boy
And that's the way to stay
Son, you'll 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
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
