Let me introduce meself,
Me name �tis Paddy Green
I am me mammy�s pride and joy
A fine oul� buachaillin!
I come from the county Waterford,
Near the village of Tramore,
I�ve been living at home since I was one,
And now I�m forty-four!
Chorus:
I was born to be a Bachelor,
I�ll never walk down the aisle,
Me ma still makes me breakfast,
Livin� it up in style,
Girls, ye�ll never catch me,
Stayin� single, is the plan
Born to be a Bachelor,
Sure I�m yer only man!
Well it's into town on the Saturday night,
Me and the boys go on a spree,
You can go down to the disco,
and have a drink with me!
With the ladies on the dance floor,
I�m a wild and crazy guy,
With me white socks and me black suede shoes,
and me thin red leather tie!
I was born to be a Bachelor,
I�ll never walk down the aisle,
Me ma still makes me breakfast,
Livin� it up in style,
Girls, ye�ll never catch me,
Stayin� single, is the plan
Born to be a Bachelor,
Sure I�m yer only man!

Then it�s off to mass next morning,
I�m wearin� me Sunday best,
I�ve got no wife to fight with,
So I�ve no sins to confess!
After church, the married men
go home, oh what a shame!
�Cause I�m scullin� da pints down at the pub
I�m watchin� the football game!
I was born to be a Bachelor,
I�ll never walk down the aisle,
Me ma still makes me breakfast,
Livin� it up in style,
Girls, ye�ll never catch me,
Stayin� single, is the plan
Born to be a Bachelor,
Sure I�m yer only man!
I�m a ramblin� ranter, I�m a rollin� stone,
I�m a galavanter� g�wan so leave me alone,
If yer out to get married, you�ll get no joy,
Cause I was born and bred to be a bachelor boy!
Now up in Lisdoonvarna,
They�ve an old matchmaker�s fair,
The girls all go a huntin�
So you�ll never see me there!
I have a Russian sweetheart,
A fine oul� thing is she!
She�s out in Vladivostok
And that�s close enough for me!
I was born to be a Bachelor,
I�ll never walk down the aisle,
Me ma still makes me breakfast,
Livin� it up in style,
Girls, ye�ll never catch me,
Stayin� single, is the plan
Born to be a Bachelor,
Sure I�m yer only man!
