Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
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 talking '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"
And the cat's 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 2→ Phiên khúc
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"
And he walked away but his smile never did, it said
"I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him"
And the cat's 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→ Phiên khúc
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 you sit for a while?"
He shook his head and he said with a smile
"What I'd really like Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?"
And the cat's 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
but we'll get together then, Dad
You know we'll have a good time then"
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
Now I've retired, my son 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
My new job's a hassle and the kid's got the flu
but it's nice talkin' to you, Dad
It's sure nice talkin' to you"
As I hung up the phone it occurred to me
he'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me
And the cat's 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
but we'll get together then, Dad
We're gonna have a good time then"
