Lyrics Westmeath Bachelor

Sure I am a Westmeath bachelor and me age is sixty-three

I don't intend to marry or to raise a family

Sure I'm happy and contented just to live a single life

And that's the reason why

I don't intend to take a wife

With the red stuff on her fingernails and varnish on her toes

The raddle on her old fizzhog and the whitewash on her nose

She can get a fancy barber to shave her neck, her head

Well that's why I'm a bachelor and I don't intend to wed

Last Thursday at the market in the town of Mullingar

A friend he introduced me to a famous movie star

She was married several times before to men of every creed and she thought she had a sucker in the bachelor from Westmeath

With the red stuff on her fingernails and varnish on her toes

The raddle on her old fizzhog and the whitewash on her nose

She can get a fancy barber to shave her neck, her head

Well that's why I'm a bachelor and I don't intend to wed

Now I'm livin' with me brother and his little cat and dog

I'm earnin' seven and six a week a-workin' on the bog

Why should I change this life of ease for one of struggle and strife

And that's the reason why

I don't intend to take a wife

With the red stuff on her fingernails and varnish on her toes

The raddle on her old fizzhog and the whitewash on her nose

She can get a fancy barber to shave her neck, her head

Well that's why I'm a bachelor and I don't intend to wed

Yeehee

Woohoo woohoo

Drrr woohoo

Yeehoo

Move that, move that

Ah hoo hah

Li dei dei dei

Di di li dei dei dei dei

Now I'm livin' with me brother and his little cat and dog

I'm earnin' seven and six a week a-workin' on the bog

Why should I change this life of ease for one of struggle and strife

And that's the reason why

I don't intend to take a wife

With the red stuff on her fingernails and varnish on her toes

The raddle on her old fizzhog and the whitewash on her nose

She can get a fancy barber to shave her neck, her head

Well that's why I'm a bachelor and I don't intend to wed

That's why I'm a bachelor and I don't intend to wed

Hey
