Bachelor Days 1916 'Ziegfeld Follies 1916'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 22 May 2005

I'm goin' away on a journey
that starts tomorrow,
and I must say that I go
with a tinge of sorrow;
My little latchkey,
you're all through,
and my address book you go too;
and ev'ry photo old and new,
I have to say goodbye to you.

Goodbye dear old Bach'lor Days,
Farewell all my bach'lor ways;
Oh! The wonderful lights
and all the gals,
the wonderful sights and all my pals,
I'm here to say adieu to you.
You've been awf'ly good to me,
I've seen all there was to see,
you have ever been nearest to my heart,
but even the best of friends must part,
so goodbye my dear old Bach'lor Days.

I've seen all there was to see,
you have ever been nearest to my heart,
but even the best of friends must part,
