Song lyrics:
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
AND HE WAS TALKIN’
’FORE I KNEW IT
AND AS HE GREW
HE’D SAY
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 YOU COMIN’ HOME, DAD
I DON’T KNOW WHEN
BUT WE’LL GET TOGETHER THEN
YOU KN
...OW
WE’LL HAVE A GOOD TIME THEN
MY SON TURNED TEN
JUST THE OTHER DAY
HE SAID, THANKS FOR THE BALL
DAD, COME ON LET’S PLAY
CAN YOU TEACH ME TO THROW
I SAID, NOT TODAY
I GOT A LOT TO DO
HE SAID, THAT’S OKAY
AND HE, HE WALKED AWAY
BUT HIS SMILE NEVER DIMMED
IT SAID
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 YOU COMIN’ HOME, DAD
I DON’T KNOW WHEN
BUT WE’LL GET TOGETHER THEN
YOU KNOW
WE’LL HAVE A GOOD TIME THEN
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 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 YOU COMIN’ HOME, SON
I DON’T KNOW WHEN
BUT WE’LL
GET TOGETHER THEN, DAD
YOU KNOW
WE’LL HAVE A GOOD TIME THEN
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
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
AND AS I HUNG UP THE PHONE
IT OCCURRED 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 YOU COMIN’ HOME, SON
I DON’T KNOW WHEN
BUT WE’LL
GET TOGETHER THEN, DAD
WE’RE GONNA HAVE
A GOOD TIME THENShow more
