Cats In The Cradle (45 Version) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]
A 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 [00:00:18]
And bills to pay[00:00:20]
He learned to walk while I was away and he was[00:00:22]
Talkin' 'fore I knew it [00:00:25]
And as he grew he said:[00:00:26]
I'm gonna be like you dad [00:00:28]
You know I'm gonna be like you[00:00:31]
And the cat's in the cradle [00:00:36]
And the silver spoon[00:00:38]
Little boy blue and the man on the moon[00:00:39]
When you comin' home [00:00:42]
Dad I don't know when[00:00:44]
But we'll get together then [00:00:46]
You know we'll have a good time then [00:00:49]
My son turned ten just the other day he said[00:01:01]
Thanks for the ball dad come on let's play[00:01:04]
Can you teach me to throw I said not today [00:01:07]
I got a lot to do he said that's okay[00:01:09]
And he walked away but[00:01:13]
His smile never dimmed it said[00:01:14]
I'm gonna be like him yeah[00:01:16]
You know I'm gonna be like him [00:01:19]
And the cat's in the cradle [00:01:23]
And the silver spoon[00:01:25]
Little boy blue and the man on the moon[00:01:27]
When you comin' home [00:01:30]
Dad I don't know when[00:01:31]
But we'll together then [00:01:33]
You know we'll have a good time then [00:01:36]
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 [00:01:53]
Can ya sit for a while [00:01:55]
He shook his head [00:01:56]
And he said with a smile[00:01:58]
What I'd really like dad [00:01:59]
Is to borrow the car keys[00:02:01]
See ya later can I have them please [00:02:03]
And the cat's in the cradle [00:02:07]
And the silver spoon[00:02:09]
Little boy blue and the man on the moon[00:02:10]
When you comin' home [00:02:13]
Son I don't know when[00:02:14]
But we'll get together then dad[00:02:16]
You know we'll have a good time then [00:02:19]
I've long since retired [00:02:31]
My son's moved away[00:02:33]
I called him up just the other day [00:02:35]
I said I'd like to see you [00:02:39]
If you don't mind he said[00:02:40]
I'd love to dad if I can find the time [00:02:42]
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids are the flu[00:02:46]
But it's sure nice talkin' to you dad[00:02:49]
It's been sure nice talkin' to you [00:02:52]
And as I hung up the phone it occured to me [00:02:57]
He'd grown up just like me [00:03:00]
My boy was just like me [00:03:03]
And the cat's in the cradle [00:03:08]
And the silver spoon[00:03:10]
Little boy blue and the man on the moon[00:03:11]
When you comin' home [00:03:14]
Son I don't know when[00:03:16]
But we'll get together then dad[00:03:17]
Were gonna have a good time then[00:03:20]
