Cliff Richard - 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.

[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.

  49. m.... ....

    Gay or not gay, his voice is warm and beautiful, i am a cliff fan with all of my heart

    m.... ....

    marylou835 nothing wrong with being gay but he is a paedophile.

  50. w.... ....

    @huey218able : Well then you have clearly misinterpreted the song.

  51. C.... R....

    Hi huey Are you implaying Ciff is "Gay" I am sure that is not what you intened to imply because if you listen to the song properly you will hear that he specify a GIRL to fall in love with Cliff is great Always have been and always will be Please Enjoy the music and pleasure it brings and leave prejeduce and personal feelings out of U Tube

  52. J.... T....

    @rizjaffer believe me lol. just watching my parents makes me not want to get married

  53. R.... J....

    people, if anyone has been married or married- you would know why his father gave such sound advice. Having said that- i still think one should get married- we all love to do things that are detrimental to our well being. LOL

  54. B.... T....

    @nikolajhansen15 Well you are entitled to your opinion but that does not mean you are right... ;)

  55. c.... ....

    @nikolajhansen15 Well I maybe wrong or I may be right! Cliff has contributed a lot to the UK music industry in the past.. I don't care if he is Gay. I will just keep my ass against the wall if he comes round my house! :-)

  56. B.... T....

    @critch1901 So just because someone doesn't want to get married they're automatically gay?? You've got a lot to learn about people so just shut up until you find some comman sense!

  57. N.... ....

    Wonder why he never married? He dont give us any clue in the song, apart from, '' His father telling him..... ''son you be a batchelor boy'' I bet he didn't want to be tied do down to any one person'!!!! How right he was to stay single anfd FREE.

    And his happy to be a Batchelor boy... LOL .

  58. J.... T....

    @critch1901 ROFL

  59. c.... ....

    Just change the lyrics a little bit from "Until my dying day" to "because I'm fuckin gay" lol

    c.... ....

    critch1901 ffs this comment rip-ed me. Lol

  60. o.... ....

    It is a matter of wonder Cliff Richard never made it big in the U.S.

  61. d.... ....

    ..this guy I used to work with had a hunched back, about three black teeth left in his mouth,and a nose you could seek shelter under....everytime I saw him,I thought about this song......lmao!!!

  62. J.... T....

    this would be a good song to sing karaoke to while drunk

  63. J.... T....

    16 is a BAD age to fall in love. in today's world at least

    J.... T....

    Amen said the church of collective Bro-theren .......

  64. J.... T....

    it's still a great song. and a bachelor's life is definitely the way to roll cause you never get tied to any one person
