Current song lyrics
A child arrived just the other day<br />He came to the world in the usual way<br />But there were planes to catch and bills to pay<br />He learned to walk while I was away<br />And he was talking 'fore I knew it and as he grew<br />He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad"<br />"You know I'm gonna be like you"<br /><br />And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon<br />Little boy blue and the man on the moon<br />When you coming home dad I don't know when<br />But we'll get together then<br />You know we'll have a good time then<br /><br />My son turned ten just the other day<br />He said "Thanks for the ball dad come on let's play<br />Can you teach me to throw" I said "Not today<br />I got a lot to do" He said "That's ok"<br />And he walked away but his smile never dimmed and<br />Said I'm gonna be like him yeah<br />You know I'm gonna be like him<br /><br />And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon<br />Little boy blue and the man on the moon<br />When you coming home dad I don't know when<br />But we'll get together then<br />You know we'll have a good time then<br /><br />Well he came from college just the other day<br />So much like a man I just had to say<br />"Son I'm proud of you can you sit for a while"<br />He shook his head and he said with a smile<br />"What I'd really like dad is to borrow the car keys<br />See you later can I have them please"<br /><br />And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon<br />Little boy blue and the man on the moon<br />When you coming home son I don't know when<br />But we'll get together then dad<br />You know we'll have a good time then<br /><br />I've long since retired and my son's moved away<br />I called him up just the other day<br />I said "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"<br />He said "I'd love to dad if I could find the time<br />You see my new job's a hassle and the kid's with the flu<br />But it's sure nice talking to you dad<br />It's been sure nice talking to you"<br />And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me<br />He'd grown up just like me<br />My boy was just like me<br /><br />And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon<br />Little boy blue and the man on the moon<br />When you coming home son I don't know when<br />But we'll get together then dad<br />We're gonna have a good time then
