Ugly Kid JoeCats in the Cradle Lyrics:
A child arrived just the other day, 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. He was talking before 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 cats in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon, When you
coming home son, I don't know when We'll get
together then. You know we'll have a good time
then.
My son turned ten just the other day, Said thanks
for the ball now c'mon let's play Will you teach
me to throw, I said not today, I've got a lot to
do, he said that's OK. And he walked away and he
smiled and he said You know I'm gonna be like you,
Dad, you know I'm gonna be like you.
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon, When you
coming home son, I don't know when We'll get
together then. You know we'll have a good time
then.
He came from college just the other day, So much
like a man I just had to say, I'm proud of you,
won't you sit for a while? He shook his head and
said with a smile, What I'm feeling like, Dad, is
to borrow the car keys See you later can I have
them please.
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon, When you
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 and my son's moved away I
called him up just the other day. 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 have the flu But it's sure
nice talking to you Dad, it's been real nice
talking to you. And as I hung up the phone it
occurred to me He'd grown up just like me, my boy
who's just like me.
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man in the moon, When you
coming home son, I don't know when We'll get
together then. You know we'll have a good time
then.
