Cat’s In The Cradle

Harry Chapin

My child arrived

Just 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 talkin’ ‘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

And the cat’s in the cradle

And the silver spoon

Little Boy Blue

And the man on the moon

When you comin’ 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 dad

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

And he walked away

But his smile never dimmed

And said

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 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 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

But we’ll get together then

Dad

You know we’ll have a good time then

I’ve long since retired

And my son’s moved away

I called him up

Just the other day

I said

I 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 kid’s 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

But we’ll get together then

Dad

We’re gonna have a good time then
