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 bitch 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]
