(Harry Chapin - Sandy Chapin)

A child arrived 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.

Chorus:
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.

My son turned ten just the other day,
He said, Thanks for the ball 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 okay.
He walked away but his smile never dimmed,
He said, I'm gonna be like him,
Yeah, you know I'm gonna be like him.

Chorus:
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 then 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.

Chorus:
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 have a good time then dad,
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,
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 kids have 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.

Chorus:
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 have a good time then dad,
You know we'll have a good time then....


Mirror lyrics:

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

He'd grown up just like me, my boy was 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 kids have 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,
I've long since retired my son's moved away.

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

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 then 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,
Well, he came from college just the other day,

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

Yeah, you know I'm gonna be like him.

He came to the world in the usual way.
A child arrived the other day,

one morning

make you feel my love

hyv㤠& paha

square root of me

el sol

dark sweet lady

mama dolores

out of range

lions

the break in me

the way that you do it

long walk home

rock 'n' roll with me

the attic

beat us

evilized

god of life

touch a four leaf clover

nostradamus

love, don't be a stranger
