MAC DAVIS – WATCHING SCOTTY GROW

Verse 1:

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

Chorus 1:

Well, you can have your T.V. and your nightclubs

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

Verse 2:

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

Chorus 2:

In four short years I’ve grown from rags to riches

And what I did before that I don’t know

Well, you can let it rain on my window pane I got my own rainbow

And we’re just sittin’ here shinin’ Watchin’ Scotty Grow

Verse 3:

Up on Daddy’s shoulders and off to bed

Ol’ sleepy head that’s my boy

Gotta have a drink of water and a story read

An old teddy bear named ‘Fred’ that’s by boy

Chorus 3:

Well, what’s that you say Mama, “Come on and keep your feet warm”

Save me a place I’ll be there in a minute or so,

I think I’ll stay right here and say a little prayer before I go

‘Cause me and God are Watchin’ Scotty Grow
