My child arrived just the other day;
Came to the world in the usually way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay.
He learned to walk while I was away.
He was talkin` `fore I knew it.
And as he grew 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 you comin` home ?`
`Son, I don`t know when.
We`ll get together then.
You know we`ll have a good time then.`
Well, my son turned ten just the other day.
He said , `Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let`s play.
Could you teach me to throw ?` I said, `Not today.
I got a lot to do.` He said, `That`s okay.`
And he walked away and he smiled and he said,
`You know,
I`m gonna be like him, yeah.
You know I`m gonna be like him.`
Chorus
Well, he came from college just the other day,
So much like a man I just had to say,
`I`m proud of you. Could 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 ?`
Chorus :
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.
We`ll get together then.
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`d like to see you, if you dont mind.`
He said, `I`d love to, Dad, if I could 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.
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
