Cat's In The Cradle
My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch − and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch − and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
He said "I'm gonna be like you, Dad − You know I'm gonna be like you"
Chorus :
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little Boy Blue and The Man On The Moon
"When ya comin' home Dad (son) 2Nd " "I don't know when
but we'll get together then ( Dad ) 2Nd
Little Boy Blue and The Man On The Moon
"When ya comin' home Dad (son) 2Nd " "I don't know when
but we'll get together then ( Dad ) 2Nd
Ya know we'll have a good time man "…..Music = Intro
My son turned 10 just the other day
He said " Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play
Can ya teach me to throw " I said " Not today − I got a lot to do
He said " Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play
Can ya teach me to throw " I said " Not today − I got a lot to do
" He said " That's OK "
And then − he walked away but his smile never dimmed − He said
" I'm gonna be like him, yeah − Ya know I'm gonna be like him "
" I'm gonna be like him, yeah − Ya know I'm gonna be like him "
Repeat Chorus …..Music…..
Well he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
" Son I'm proud of you, can ya 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 ya later, can I have them please "
So much like a man I just had to say
" Son I'm proud of you, can ya 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 ya later, can I have them please "
Repeat Chorus 2Nd ….. Music…..
I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said " I'd like to see you, if you don't mind "
He said " I'd love to Dad, if I can find the time
I called him up just the other day
I said " I'd like to see you, if you don't mind "
He said " I'd love to Dad, if I can find the time
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talkin' to you Dad
It's been sure nice talkin' to you "
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 occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me − My boy, was just like me
He'd grown up just like me − My boy, was just like me
Repeat Chorus 2Nd ….. We're gonna have a good time then
