Re: BACHELOR'S LIFE

Here's the lyrics D.L. Menard sang in 1963 with Badeaux and the Louisiana Aces on the 45 (flip of She Didn't Know I Was Married):

Me I work very hard
Me I work by the day
And when I collect my week's work
All I want is to spend it

I am a bachelor and I don't want to get married
That's all I want, to have fun
I am just like a Happy Go Lucky
When Saturday night comes around

I don't have a lot of school
I am not well educated
But I have enough sense to know better
When you get married, you always come home too late
Your wife doesn't want you to come in

Me I'm ok, I don't bother anybody
Me a wife can't leave
Me I'm just like a Happy Go Lucky
When Saturday night comes around


Moi, j'suis apres travailler bien dur
Moi, j'suis apres travailler par jour
Et quand j'collect ma semaine d'ouvrage
C'est tout moi jongle, c'est la depenser

J'suis un vieux garcon et j'veux pas marier
Et tout moi j'veux, c'est m'amuser
Moi j'suis juste comme un Happy Go Lucky
Quand l'samedi au soir arrive

J'ai pas un tas d'ecole
Moi, j'suis pas bien instruit
Mai, j'ai assez d'esprit pour connaitre mieux
Quand tu t'marier, t'arrive trop tard
La femme veux pas tu fait rentrer

Moi j'suis bien, j'jene rien personne
Moi un femme peut pas me quitter
Moi j'suis juste comme un Happy Go Lucky
Quand l'samedi au soir arrive
