Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: I'm Gonna Be a Bachelor (Wheeler)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I'm Gonna Be A Bachelor
I was able to transcribe this much from a sample at Allmusic.com:


...But I would give them all away if I could marry you.

[CHORUS?] For I'm gonna be a bachelor, a bachelor, a bachelor.
I'm gonna be a bachelor if you won't marry me.
Yes, I'm gonna be a bachelor, a bachelor, a bachelor.
I'm gonna be a bachelor if you won't marry me.

If I was a fox so fine and fresh and you's a hopping hound,
I'd run into my home and wait until you put your sweet note(?) down,
And then I'd kiss you once or twice....
