My child arrived just the
other day

He came to the world in the
usual way
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
And the cat's in the cradle
And the silver spoon

Little Boy Blue and the
Man on the Moon
When ya' coming home,
Dad, I don't know when
We'll get together then

You know we'll have
a good time then
Well, my son turned ten
just the other day

He said, thanks for the
ball Dad come on, let's play
And the cat's in the cradle
And the silver spoon

Little Boy Blue
and the Man on the Moon
Well, he came from college
just the other day

So much like a man,
I just had to say
When ya' coming home,
son, I don't know when
We'll get together then

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
Ya' see, my new job's a
hassle
And the kid's got the flu

But it's sure nice talking
to you, dad
It's been sure nice talking
to you

And as I hung up the phone
It occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
Yeah, my boy, was just
like me

And the cat's in the cradle
And the silver spoon
We'll get together then
You know we'll have
a good time then
