A child arived just the other day.
|
Came to the world in the usual way.
|
But the planes to catch and bills to pay.
|
He learned to walk while I was away.
|
He was talkin' 'fore I knew it.
|
And as he grew he said I'm gonna be like you dad.
|
You know I'm gonna be like you.
|
|
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon.
|
Little boy blue and the man on the moon.
|
When yoou're comin' home son I don't know when.
|
Will get together then.
|
You know will have a good time then.
|
|
Well my son turned ten just the other day.
|
He said thanks for the ball now come on let's play.
|
Could you teach me to throw I said not today
|
I got a lot to do he said that's okay yeah.
|
He walked away and he smiled he was such a doll.
|
I'm gonna be like him yeah. You know I'm gonna be like him.
|
|
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon.
|
Little boy blue and the man on the moon.
|
When yoou're comin' home son I don't know when.
|
Will get together then.
|
You know will have a good time then.
|
|
Well he came from collage just the other day.
|
So much like a man I just had to say.
|
I'm proud of you could you sit for a while.
|
He shook his head and he said with a smile.
|
What I'd really like dad is to borrow the car keys.
|
See you later can I have them please.
|
|
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon.
|
Little boy blue and the man on the moon.
|
When yoou're comin' home son I don't know when.
|
Will get together then.
|
You know will have a good time then.
|
|
I've long since retired and my son's moved away.
|
I called him up just the other day.
|
I'd like to see you if you don't mind
|
He said I'd love to dad if I could find the time.
|
You see my new job's a hazzle and the kids hade the flu.
|
But it's sure nice talkin' to you dad.
|
It's been sure nice talkin' to you.
|
|
And as I hung up the phone it occured to me.
|
He'd grown up just like me, my boy was just like me.
|
|
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon.
|
Little boy blue and the man on the moon.
|
When yoou're comin' home son I don't know when.
|
Will get together then.
|
You know will have a good time then.
|
|
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon.
|
Little boy blue and the man on the moon.
|
When yoou're comin' home son I don't know when.
|
Will get together then.
|
You know will have a good time then.
