Bachelor Boy Lyrics
When I was young, my father said
son i have something to say
and what he told me
i'll never forget,
until my dieing day.
He said, Son you be a bacholor boy,
And thats the way to stay,
Son, you be a bacholor boy,
untill your diying day.
When i was 16 i fell in love,
with a girl, as cute as can be,
And i'll get married,
have a wife and kids,
and they'll be my turtle doves,
But until then I'll be a bacholor boy,
and thats the way i'll stay,
I'll be a bacholor boy,
Until my dieing day......
son i have something to say
and what he told me
i'll never forget,
until my dieing day.
And thats the way to stay,
Son, you be a bacholor boy,
untill your diying day.
with a girl, as cute as can be,
And i'll get married,
have a wife and kids,
and they'll be my turtle doves,
But until then I'll be a bacholor boy,
and thats the way i'll stay,
I'll be a bacholor boy,
Until my dieing day......

You can't spell the word 'bachelor'
haha...so true..
haha...so true..
This song is either about 1) self fulfilling prophecy or 2) a parent's wish being adhered to much longer than necessary. See the movie Honeymoon in Vegas. . The last verse seems contradictory because he speculates that he will do the opposite of what his father said yet he talks about the father's prediction being true for the rest of his life.
This is interesting, because as far as I am aware, Cliff Richards remains a Bachelor. I do wonder if it may be prophetic. When my elder brother was very young, perhaps 9 or 10, we are talking around sixty years ago, he entered a talent completion, signing this song, which he won. Tragically, at age 16 he was killed in a road accident. A bachelor to his dying day.
The first 45 rpm single I ever bought. Liked the B side ‘The Next Time’ better after I had listened to it
DEATH! IT'S ALL ABOUT EMOTIONAL PAIN AND DEATH! DEATH BY MURDER, DEATH FROM DISEASE, OR OLD AGE. ANY KIND OF DEATH!
