A child arrived 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 talking

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 coming home dad

I don't know when

But we'll get together then

You know

We'll have a good time then

My son turned ten

Just the other day

He said thanks for the ball

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

He walked away

But 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 in the moon

When you coming 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

Then 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 coming home son

I don't know when

We'll get together then

That we'll have a good time

Then

Now wish I 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 could find the time

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 in the moon

When you coming home dad

I don't know when

But we'll get together then

That

You gonna have a good time then
