Chapin Harry Miscellaneous Cats In The Cradle CAT'S IN THE CRADLE by Harry Chapin A 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, and he was Talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew, he said: I'm gonna be like you, dad, You know I'm gonna be like you CHORUS 1: And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home, dad, I don't know when But we'll have a good time then, son You know we'll have a good time then. My son turned ten just the other day, he said Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play Can you teach me to throw, I said not today, I got a lot to do, he said that's okay And he walked away but his smile never dimmed, it said I'm gonna be like him, yeah You know I'm gonna be like him. *CHORUS 1* Well he came from college just the other day So much like a man I just had to say Son I'm proud of you, can we sit for a while? He shook his head, and said, with a smile What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys See ya later, can I have them please? CHORUS 2: And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home, son, I don't know when But we'll have a good time then, dad You know we'll have a good time then. 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. You see my new job's a hassle and the kids got the flu But it's been sure nice talkin' to you, yeah Sure nice talkin' to you. And as I hung up the phone it occured to me, He'd grown up just like me, yeah. My boy was just like me. *CHORUS 2* |
