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 In The Moon
- "When you comin' home, Dad?"
- "I don't know when, we'll get together then, son
- You know we'll have a good time then"
- Well my son turned 10 just the other day
- 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 walked away but a smile never came
- He 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 In The Moon
- "When you comin' home, Dad?"
- "I don't know when, we'll get together then, son
- 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 In The Moon
- "When you comin' home, son?"
- "I don't know when, we'll get together then
- We're gonna have a good time then"
- Well I've long since retired, my son's moved away
- 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 talking to you Dad, it's been sure nice talking to you"
- And as he hung up the phone it occurred to me
- He'd grown up just like, my boy was just like me
- And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
- Little Boy Blue and The Man In 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 then"
