1. When I was young my father said, "Son, I have something to say!"
                            G5                    A5              D5   A5
    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.
                G5            A5                D5      - C5 - D5 - C-
Son, you'll be a bachelor boy until your dying day."

     D5               G5            A5                  D5
3. As time goes by I probably will meet a girl and fall in love.
                                          G5
    Then I'll get married, have a wife and a child,
       A5                  D5            A5           D5
    and they'll be my turtle doves.     But until then
