I'll take you to the picture show
And babe, I'll hold your hand
I'll sit up in your parlor
Let you cool me with your fan
I'll listen to your troubles
And pet you when you cry
But get that marrying out of your head
I'll be a bachelor till I die
I don't mind honky tonking around
If that will bring you fun
But somehow I can't understand
How one and one make one
I like to cuddle near you
And listen to you lie
But get that marrying out of your head
I'll be a bachelor till I die
Now if you want a help mate
You're just wasting lots of time
Cause I'm afraid of church bells
How they scare me when they chime
I've seen those married people
Just up and say goodbye
So get that marrying out of your head
I'll be a bachelor till I die
This freedom's mighty precious
In this land of liberty
I've seen what matrimony's done
To better men than me
I don't mind keeping company
With the apple of my eye
But keep that marrying out of your head
I'll be a bachelor till I die
