[Verse 1]
C D A Dchild arrived just the Fother day
He Gcame to the world in the Dusual way
But there Dwere planes to catch, and bills Fto pay
He Glearned to walk while I Dwas away
And he Cwas talkin' 'fore I knew it and as he grew
He said, I'm gonna be like Dyou, Dad
You Cknow I'm gonna be like Dyou
[Chorus]
And the Dcat's in the cradle and the Csilver spoon
Little boy blue and the Dman on the moon
DWhen you comin' home Dad?
I Cdon't know when but we'll get together Dthen
You Cknow we'll have a good timeD then

He Gsaid "Thanks for the ball, Dad, Dcome on let's play
Can you Dteach me to throw?", I said
F"Not today, I Ggot a lot to do", he Dsaid, "That's okay"
And he Cwalked away but his smile never dimmed
He said, "I'm gonna be Dlike him, yeah
CYou know I'm gonna be like Dhim"
[Chorus]
And the Dcat's in the cradle and the Csilver spoon
Little boy blue and the Dman on the moon
DWhen you comin' home Dad?
I Cdon't know when but we'll get together Dthen
You Cknow we'll have a good timeD then

"What I'd Creally like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See ya later, can I Dhave them please?"
