All my friends are married
Every Tom and d___ and Harry
You must be strong
If you're to go it alone
Here's to the bachelors
And the bowery b__s
And those who feel that they're the ones
That 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,
and I'm comin' home when I please
don't have to ask permission
If I want to go out fishing
never have to ask for the keys

I've never been no Valentino
Had a girl who lived in Reno
Left me for a trumpet player
But it didn't get me down
He was wanted for a__ault
Though he said it weren't his fault
You know the coppers rode him right
Out of town

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

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

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

Yeah... I got this girl...(unintelligible)... I just ... She'd been married several times, and I don't wanna end up like her, I mean She'd been maried so many times she got rice marks all over her face and I... yeah you know the kind
