When I was young my father said "Son I have something to say,"
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, son you are a bachelor boy:"
-huh- I wish I was a bloody bachelor boy
A happy ba-che-lor was he,

But he ain't no more gone is Garry
As he ditched, when he got hitched to a witch and a (*##$ called
melanie

Who's that then - Garry
Slouched on the couch with that cow,
There ain't any doubt there's no escape

Now off his head, concerted
Instead he wed, Melanie


[Chorus]
He said, "I only wanted to stay"
But the silly sucker, drained his life away

"I only wanted to be"
and he took no notice of me
and it's all over now -huh- for Garry


The bag nagged/asked to have a kid
The most * that Garry ever did

Stuck in a rut, he knows he's a nut, with a pain in th butt
called Melanie


[Chorus]
[Guitar Bit]


Off his head, off his *
Garry was a sucker when he married Melanie


[Chorus]
