เพลง : Cats In The Cradle
ศิลปิน : Ugly Kid Joe


My child arrived
just the other day
Came to the world
in the usually way
But there were planes
to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk
while I was away
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 you comin' home
Son, 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
Could you teach me to throw
I said, Not today
I got a lot to do
He said, That's okay
And he walked away
and he smiled
and he said, You know
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 on the moon
When you comin' home
Son, I don't know when
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
I'm proud of you
Could 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 on the moon
When you comin' 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
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 talkin' to you, Dad
It's been sure
nice talkin' 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 on the moon
When you comin' home
Son, I don't know when
We'll get together then
You know we'll have
a good time then
And the cat's in the cradle
and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue
and the man on the moon
When you comin' home
Son, I don't know when
We'll get together then
You know we'll have
a good time then
