My child arrived just the other day
G D
He came to the world in the usual way
D F
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay

He learned to walk while I was away
C Em7 Am Am/G
And he was talking 'fore I knew it and as he grew
F Am D
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you Dad
F Am D
You know I'm gonna be like you"
D C
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
F G
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
D C
When you comin' home dad, I don't know when
F Am D
But we'll get together then
F Am/E D
You know we'll have a good time then

My son turned ten just the other day

But as he walked away his smile never dimmed
F Am D
He said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah."

You know we'll have a good time then

Well, he came from college just the other day
G D
So much like a man I just had to say,
D F
"Son, I'm proud of you can you sit for a while"
G D
He shook his head and he said with a smile,
C Em7 Am Am/F
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.
F Am D
See you later, can I have them please?"
D C
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

Little boy blue and the man in the moon

When you comin' home dad, I don't know when
