My child arrived just the other day 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 said: 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 on 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, dad, come on let's play teach me to throw, I said not today, I got a lot to do, he said that's okay And 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 on 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 ya sit for a while? He shook his head and said with a smile What I'd really like, dad, is borrow the car keys See ya 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 coming home, son, I don't know when But we'll get together then,dad You know we'll have a good time then. I've long since retired, my sons 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 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 I hung up the phone it occured 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 coming home, son, I don't know when But we'll get together then, dad You know we'll have a good time then.
