[Intro]

[Verse 1]

My child arrived just the other day, he came to the world in the usual way

But there were planes to catch and bills to pay. He learned to walk while I was away

[Pre-Chorus]

And he was talkin 'fore I knew it and as he grew he'd say

I'm gonna be like you, dad. You know I'm gonna be like you

[Chorus]

And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon, little boy blue and the man in the moon

When you coming home, Dad? I don't know when

But we'll get together then. You know we'll have a good time then.

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

My son turned ten just the other day. He said "Thanks for the ball, Dad, c'mon, let's play"

Can you teach me to throw, I said "not today; I got a lot to do", he said "that's okay"

[Pre-Chorus]

And he, he walked away, but his smile never dimmed, he said

"I'm gonna be like him, yeah. You know I'm gonna be like him"

[Chorus]

And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon, little boy blue and the man in the moon

When you coming home, Dad? I don't know when

But we'll get together then. You know we'll have a good time then.

[Verse 3]

Well, he came home college just the other day. So much like a man, I just had to say

"Son I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?". He shook his head and he said with a smile

[Pre-Chorus]

"What I'd really like Dad is to borrow the car keys.

See you later, can I have them please?"

[Chorus]

And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon, little boy blue and the man in the moon

When you comin' home, son? I don't know when.

We'll get together then, Dad. You know we'll have a good time then.

[Bridge]

[Verse 4]

I've long since retired, my son's moved away. I called him up just the other day

I said "I'd like to see you if you don't mind". He said "I'd love to dad if I could find the time"

[Pre-Chorus]

You see, my new job's a hassle and the kid's have the flu

But it's sure nice talkin' to you dad. It's been sure nice talkin' to you

And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me

He'd grown up just like me. My boy was just like me

[Chorus]

And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon, little boy blue and the man in the moon

When you comin' home, son? I don't know when.

We'll get together then, Dad. You know we'll have a good time then.

And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon, little boy blue and the man in the moon

When you comin' home, son? I don't know when.

We'll get together then, Dad. You know we'll have a good time then.

[Outro]
