A child arrived just the other day
Came to the world in the usual way
There were planes to catch, bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away

VERSE 2a

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 OK"


VERSE 2b

He walked away with a smile on his face, he said
"I'm gonna be like him, yeah,
you know I'm gonna be like him"


CHORUS

The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and a 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

When he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just have to say

VERSE 4a

Long since retired, my son moved away
I called him up just the other day
I'd like to see you, if you don't mind
He said: I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time.


VERSE 4b

You see, my new job's ass and the kids got the flew,
but it's sure nice talking to you dad,
it was sure nice talking to you.


VERSE 5b

And as I hung up the phone is occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me!
