Cat's In The Cradle (摇篮里的猫) - The Starlite Orchestra[00:00:00]

My child arrived just the other day[00:00:12]

He came to the world in the usual way[00:00:15]

But there were planes to catch and bills to pay[00:00:17]

He learned to walk while I was away[00:00:21]

And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew[00:00:24]

He'd say "I'm gonna be like you, Dad[00:00:27]

You know I'm gonna be like you"[00:00:30]

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon[00:00:35]

Little boy blue and the man on the moon[00:00:38]

When you comin' home, Dad[00:00:42]

I don't know when, we'll get together then[00:00:43]

You know we'll have a good time then[00:00:48]

My son turned ten just the other day[00:01:00]

He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play[00:01:02]

Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today[00:01:06]

I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok[00:01:09]

And he walked away but his smile never dimmed[00:01:12]

And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah[00:01:15]

You know I'm gonna be like him"[00:01:18]

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon[00:01:23]

Little boy blue and the man on the moon[00:01:26]

When you comin' home, Dad[00:01:29]

I don't know when, we'll get together then[00:01:31]

You know we'll have a good time then[00:01:35]

Well, he came from college just the other day[00:01:47]

So much like a man I just had to say[00:01:50]

"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while"[00:01:53]

He shook his head and said with a smile[00:01:56]

"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys[00:01:59]

See you later, can I have them please"[00:02:03]

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon[00:02:07]

Little boy blue and the man on the moon[00:02:11]

When you comin' home son[00:02:14]

I don't know when ,we'll get together then, Dad[00:02:15]

You know we'll have a good time then[00:02:20]

I've long since retired, my son's moved away[00:02:39]

I called him up just the other day[00:02:42]

I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"[00:02:46]

He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time[00:02:49]

You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu[00:02:54]

But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad[00:02:57]

It's sure nice talking to you"[00:03:01]

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me[00:03:05]

He'd grown up just like me[00:03:09]

My boy was just like me[00:03:12]

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon[00:03:16]

Little boy blue and the man in the moon[00:03:20]

When you comin' home son[00:03:23]

I don't know when, we'll get together then, Dad[00:03:24]

You know we'll have a good time then[00:03:29]
