Born To Be a Bachelor -- Gaelic Storm

Let-me introduce me-self,
M'name ‘tis Paddy Green.
I am me mammy’s pride and joy
Oh A fine oul’ buachaillin!
I come from the county Waterford,
Near the village of Tramore,
I’ve been livingathome 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 mam still makes me breakfast,
'm Livin’ it up in shtyle!
Girls, ye’ll never catch me!
Stayin’ single, that’s the plan
Booorn to be a Bachelor -- Sure I’m yer only man! Hah?

Into town on the Saturday night,
All the b’ys go on a spreee...
If you come down to the dishco,
You can have a drink with me!
With the ladies on the dance floor,
I’m a wild and crazy guy,
In me white socks and me black suede shoes,
and me thin red leather tie!

Chorus
I was born to be a Bachelor,
I’ll never walk down the aisle,
Me mam still makes me breakfast,
'm Livin’ it up in shtyle!
Girls, ye’ll never catch me!
Stayin’ single, that’s the plan
Booorn to be a Bachelor -- Sure I’m yer only man! Hah?

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!

Chorus
I was born to be a Bachelor,
I’ll never walk down the aisle,
Me mam still makes me breakfast,
'm Livin’ it up in shtyle!
Girls, ye’ll never catch me!
Stayin’ single, that’s the plan
Booorn to be a Bachelor -- Sure I’m yer only man! Hah?

I’m a ramblin’ ranter, I’m a rollin’ stone,
I’m a galavanter’ g’wan an leave me alone,
If yer out to get married, you’ll get no joy,
Cause I was born and bred to be a bachelor, buddyy!

Up in Lisdoonvarna,
They’ve an old matchmaker’s fair,
The girls all go a huntin’
So you’ll never see me there!
I’ve got a Russian sweetheart,
A fine oul’ thing is she!
She’s out in Vladivostok
And that’s close enough for me!

Chorus x2
I was born to be a Bachelor,
I’ll never walk down the aisle,
Me mam still makes me breakfast,
'm Livin’ it up in shtyle!
Girls, ye’ll never catch me!
Stayin’ single, that’s the plan
Booorn to be a Bachelor -- Sure I’m yer only man! Hah?
