Lyrics:

My Child Arrived Just The Other Day
he Came To The World In The Usual Way
but There Were Planes To Catch, Bills To Pay
he Learned To Walk While I Was Away

and He Was Talking Fore I Knew It And As He Grew
he Said, Im Gonna Be Like You, Dad
you Know, Im Gonna Be Like You

and The Cats In The Cradle And The Silver Spoon
little Boy Blue And The Man In The Moon
when You Comin Home I Dont Know When
well Get Together Then, Son
you Know, Well Have A Good Time Then

my Child Turned Ten, The Other Day
he Said, Thanks For The Ball, Dad, Come On Lets Play
can You Teach Me To Throw I Said, Not Today
i Got A Lot To Do, He Said, Thats Okay

he Turned Away But His Smile Never Dimmed
im Gonna Be Like Him, He Said
yes, Im Going To Be Like Him

and The Cats In The Cradle And The Silver Spoon
little Boy Blue And The Man In The Moon
when You Comin Home I Dont Know When
well Get Together Then, Son
you Know, Well Have A Good Time Then

when He Came From College, The Other Day
so Much Like A Man I Just Had To Say
im Proud Of You, Son, Will You Sit For A While
he Shook His Head And He Said With A Smile

what Id Really Like To Do Is To Borrow The Car Keys
ill See You Later, Can I Have Them Please

and The Cats In The Cradle And The Silver Spoon
little Boy Blue And The Man In The Moon
when You Comin Home I Dont Know When
well Get Together Then, Son
you Know, Well Have A Good Time Then

well, Ive Long Since Retired, My Child Moved Away
i Called Him Up Just The Other Day
i Said, Id Like To See You If You Dont Mind
he Said, Id Love To, Dad, If I Could Find The Time

he Said The New Jobs A Hassle And The Kids Got The Flu
but Its So Nice Talking To You, Dad
its So Nice Talking To You

and As I Hung Up The Phone It Occurred To Me
my Boys A Lot Like Me, My Boys A Lot Like Me

and The Cats In The Cradle And The Silver Spoon
little Boy Blue And The Man In The Moon
when You Comin Home I Dont Know When
well Get Together Then, Son
you Know, Well Have A Good Time Then

well Get Together Then, Son
you Know, Well Have A Good Time Then
