[00:07.07]CAT'S IN THE CRADLE
[00:09.39]by Harry Chapin and Sandy Chapin
[00:12.44]Part 1
[00:15.25]My child arrived just the other day;
[00:19.69]He came to the world in the usual way,
[00:24.45]But there were planes to catch and bills to pay,
[00:27.43]He learned to walk while I was away.
[00:30.74]And he was talking before I knew it,
[00:33.86]And as he grew he'd say: "I'm going to be like you,dad,
[00:39.35]You know I'm going to be like you."
[00:44.41](Music......)
[01:07.93]Chorus
[01:09.37]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
[01:13.30]Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[01:16.35]"When you coming home,dad?"
[01:18.60]"I don't know when,
[01:20.41]But we'll get together then,
[01:23.09]You know we'll have a good time then."
[01:27.52]（Music...........)
[01:44.12]Part 2
[01:46.05]My son turned ten just the other day.
[01:49.18]He said,"Thanks for the ball,dad,come on ,let's play.
[01:52.79]Can you teach me to throw?"
[01:55.29]I said,"Not today,I' ve got a lot to do."
[01:58.92]He said,"That's OK."
[02:01.09]And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed;
[02:04.91]He said I'm going to be like him,yeah.
[02:07.77]You know I'm going to be like him.( Chorus)
[02:14.26]Part 3
[02:16.32]Well,he came from college just the other day.
[02:19.26]So much like a man,I just had to say,
[02:22.44]"Son,I'm proud of you,can you sit for a while?"
[02:26.44]He shook his head and said with a smile,
[02:29.49]"What I'd really like,Dad,is to borrow the car keys.
[02:33.73]See you later,can I have them please?"( Chorus)
[02:40.23]Part 4
[02:41.60]I've long since retired,my son's moved away.
[02:46.21]I called him up just the other day.
[02:48.77]I said,"I'd like to see you if you don't mind."
[02:51.89]He said,"I'd love to ,Dad,if I can find the time.
[02:55.94]You see,my new job's a worry and the kids have the flu,
[03:00.75]But it's sure nice talking to you,dad.
[03:03.74]It's sure been nice talking to you."
[03:06.43]And as I hung up the phone,it occurred to me,
[03:09.55]He'd grown up just like me.
[03:11.79]My boy was just like me.
