Bachelor Boy

Cliff Richard · Japan Tour '74 [2009]

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.



(Chorus 1)

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.



(Chorus 1)



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 dove.



(Chorus 2)

But until then, I'll be a bachelor boy

and that's the way I'll stay-yay-yay,

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-yay-yay,

Happy to be a bachelor boy until my dying day.
