All my friends are married

Every Tom and Dick and Harry

You must be strong

To go it alone

Here's to the bachelors

And the bowery bums

And those who feel that

They're the ones

Who are better off without a wife

I like to sleep until the crack of noon

Midnight howlin' at the moon

Goin' out when I wanto

Comin' home when I please

I don't have to ask permission

If I want to go out fishing

And I never have to ask for the keys

Never been no Valentino

Had a girl who lived in Reno

Left me for a trumpet player

Didn't get me down

He was wanted for assault

Though he said it weren't his fault

Well the coppers rode him right

Out of town

(chorus)

Selfish about my privacy

As long as I can be with me

We get along so well I can't believe

I love to chew the fat with folks

And listen to all your dirty jokes

I'm so thankful for these friends

I do receive
