DWhen I was young my Gfather said,

"ASon, I have something to Dsay!"

DAnd what he told me I'll Gnever forget

unAtil my dying Dday. He said

"DSon, you are a Gbachelor boy,

and Athat's the way to Dstay.

DSon, you'll be a Gbachelor boy

Auntil your Ddying Cday."

DWhen I was sixteen I Gfell in love

with a Agirl as sweet as can Dbe.

DBut I remembered Gjust in time,

what Adaddy said to Dme. He said

"DSon, you are a Gbachelor boy,

and Athat's the way to Dstay.

DSon, you'll be a Gbachelor boy

Auntil your Ddying Cday."

DAs time goes by I Gprobably will

Ameet a girl and Dfall in love.
