Lyrics:

There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad
He's a handsome lad, that's my boy
P-r-l-f-q, spells mom and dad
Well, that ain't too bad, 'cause that's my boy
You can have your T.V. and your night clubs
You can have your drive in picture shows
I'll sit here and drink a beer and listen to the radio
Bidin' my time and watchin' Scotty grow

Makin' castles out of building blocks
And a cardboard box, that's my boy
Mickey Mouse says it's thirteen o'clock
Well, that's quite a shock, but that's my boy
In four short years I've grown from rags to riches
What I did before that, I don't know?
Let it rain on my windowpane, I got my own rainbow
And we're sittin' here shinin', watchin' Scotty grow

Up on daddy's shoulders and off to bed
Old sleepyhead, that's my boy
Gotta have a drink of water and a story read
And a teddy bear named Fred, that's my boy
What's that you say, momma, come on and keep your feet warm
Well, save a place, I'll be in in a minute or so
I think I'll stay right here and say a little pray'r before I go
Me and God are watchin' Scotty grow
