[Verse 1]
My child arriv
ed just the ot
her day
He came to the
world in the
usual way
But there were
planes to cat
ch and bills t
o pay
He learned to
walk while I w
as away
And he was tal
kin' 'fore I k
new it, and as
he grew
He'd say "I'm
gonna be like
you dad
You know I'm g
onna be like y
ou"
[Chorus]
And the cat's
in the cradle
and the silver
spoon
Little boy blu
e and the man
in the moon
When you comin
' home dad?
I don't know w
hen, but we'll
get together
then son
You know we'll
have a good t
ime then

My son turned

He said, "Than
ks for the bal
l, Dad, come o
n let's play
Can you teach
me to throw",
I said "Not to
day
I got a lot to
do", he said,
"That's ok"
And he walked
away but his s
mile never dim
med
And said, "I'm
gonna be like
him, yeah
You know I'm g
onna be like h
im"
[Chorus]
And the cat's
in the cradle
and the silver
spoon
Little boy blu
e and the man
in the moon
When you comin
' home dad?
I don't know w
hen, but we'll
get together
then son
You know we'll
have a good t

Well, he came
home from coll
ege just the o
ther day
So much like a
man I just ha
d to say
"Son, I'm prou
d of you, can
you sit for a
while?"
He shook his h
ead and said w
ith a smile
"What I'd real
ly like, Dad,
is to borrow t
he car keys
See you later,
can I have th
em please?"
[Chorus]
And the cat's
in the cradle
and the silver
spoon
Little boy blu
e and the man
in the moon
When you comin
' home son?
I don't know w
hen, but we'll
get together
then Dad
You know we'll
have a good t

[Verse 4]
I've long sinc
e retired, my
son's moved aw
ay
I called him u
p just the oth
er day
I said, "I'd l
ike 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 hassl
e and kids hav
e the flu
But it's sure
nice talking t
o you, Dad
It's been sure
nice talking
to you"
And as I hung
up the phone i
t occurred to
me
He'd grown up
just like me
My boy was jus
t like me
(A Tempo)
[Chorus]
And the cat's
in the cradle
and the silver
spoon
Little boy blu
e and the man
in the moon
When you comin
' home son?
I don't know w
hen, but we'll
get together
then Dad
You know we'll
have a good t
ime then
