My child arrived just the other dayHe came to the world in the usual wayBut there were planes to catch, and bills to payHe learned to walk while I was awayAnd he was talking ‘fore I knew it, and as he grewHe’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 spoonLittle boy blue and the man in the moon“When you coming home, dad?” “I don’t know when”But we’ll get together thenYou know we’ll have a good time then

My son turned ten just the other dayHe said, thanks for the ball, dad, come on let’s playCan you teach me to throw, I said-a, not todayI got a lot to do, he said, that’s okayAnd he, he walked away, but his smile never dimmedIt said, I’m gonna be like him, yeahYou know I’m gonna be like him

And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoonLittle boy blue and the man in the moon“When you coming home, dad?” “I don’t know when”But we’ll get together thenYou know we’ll have a good time then

Well, he came from college just the other daySo much like a man I just had to saySon, I’m proud of you, can you sit for a while?He shook his head, and they said with a smileWhat I’d really like, dad, is to borrow the car keysSee you later, can I have them please?

And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoonLittle boy blue and the man in the moon“When you coming home, son?” “I don’t know when”But we’ll get together then, dadYou know we’ll have a good time then

I’ve long since retired, my son’s moved awayI called him up just the other dayI said, I’d like to see you if you don’t mindHe said, I’d love to, dad, if I can find the timeYou see, my new job’s a hassle, and the kids have the fluBut it’s sure nice talking to you, dadIt’s been sure nice talking to youAnd as I hung up the phone, it occurred to meHe’d grown up just like meMy boy was just like me

And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoonLittle boy blue and the man in the moon“When you coming home, son?” “I don’t know when”But we’ll get together then, dadWe’re gonna have a good time then
