Harry Chapin
Cats In The Cradle

My 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 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 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.

Well 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 ok
And then he walked away but his smile never dimmed
And he 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

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 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.

Well 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 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
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

We're gonna' have a good time then
But we'll get together then, dad
I don't know when
When you coming home, son
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

My boy was just like me
He'd grown up just like me
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me
It's been sure nice talking to you
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad
You see my new job's a hassle, and the kid's got the flu
He said, I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time
I said, I'd like to see you if you don't mind
I called him up just the other day
Well I've long since retired my son's moved away

You know we'll have a good time then.
But we'll get together then, dad.
I don't know when,
When you coming home, son?
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,

See you later, Can I have them please?
What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys
He shook his head, and he said with a smile
Son, I'm proud of you. Can you sit for a while
So much like a man I just had to say

You know we'll have a good time then
But we'll get together then

And the cat's in the cradle

You know I'm gonna be like him

And the cat's in the cradle

You know I'm gonna be like you

And he was talking 'fore I knew and as he grew
He learned to walk while I was away
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay
He came to the world in the usual way
My child arrived just the other day;
