Cat's In The Cradle - Jen Chapin
作词:Harry Chapin
作曲:Harry Chapin
My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it and as he grew
He said I'm gonna be like you
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 I don't know when
But we'll get together then
We're gonna 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've got a lot to do he said That's okay
But he walked away and his smile never dimmed
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 on the moon
When you comin' home I don't know when
But we'll get together then
We're gonna have a good time then
He came home 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 just 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 I don't know when
But we'll get together then
We're gonna have a good time then
I've long since retired 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
But 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 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 I don't know when
But we'll get together then
We're gonna have a good time then
