[Bbm] [Eb] [A] [Eb]
[Db] [F] [Eb] My child arrived just [Gb] the other day
[Ab] Came to the world [Eb] in a usual way, but there were planes to catch
[Gb] meals to pay
[Ab] He learned to walk [Eb] while I was away
[Db] He was talking for I knew [Bbm] it and as [Db] he could [Gb] he said [Db] I'm gonna be [Eb] like you [Gb] dad
You [Db] know, I'm gonna [Eb] be like you
And the cats in the [Db] cradle and the silver [Gb] spoon
Little Bobby [Ab] and the man on the [Eb] moon
When you come in, [Db] I don't know
We'll get [Eb] together there [Gb] You [Db] know

Little Bobby [Ab] and the man on the [Eb] moon
When you come [Db] in, I don't know
We'll get [Eb] together there
[Gb] You [Db] know I'll have [Eb] a good time there
Well
[Bbm] [Eb]
he came from college [Gb] just the other day
[Ab] So much like a man [Eb] I just had to say
I'm bright like a star, and I'm a man of my word
I'm proud of you, [Gb] could you sit for a [Ab] while
He shook his head [Eb] and he said with a [Db] smile
What I'm feeling like dad is to bob the cockies
See [Eb] you later, can I have them please
And the cats in the [Db] cradle and the silver spoon
[Gb] Little Bobby [Ab] and the man on the moon
[Eb] When you come [Db] in, I don't know
We'll get together [Eb] there
[Gb] You know I'll [Db] have a good [Eb] time there
[B] When [Db] [Bb] [Eb]
[B] [Db] [Eb]
you come in, I don't know
When you come in, I don't know
Long since [Gb] retired, my son's moved away
[Ab] I [Eb] called him up just the other day
To see [Gb] if you don't mind
[Ab] He said I'd [Eb] love to dad
If I could find the time
[Db] You see my new job's a [Bbm] hassle
And the [Db] kids are the blue
[Gb] But it's [Db] sure nice [Eb] talking to you [Gb] dad
It's [Db] sure nice [Eb] talking to you
And [Db] as I hung up the phone
He [Bbm] had a kid [Db] to meet
He'd grown up, he'd been a good kid
And my little boy was just [Ebm] like [Eb] me
[Gb] My [Db] boy was [Eb] just like me
And the cats in the cradle [Db] and the silver spoon
[Gb] Little Bobby and [Ab] the man [Eb] on the moon
When you come in, [Db] I don't know
[Gb] [Db] We'll get together [Eb]
[Gb] there
You [Db] know I'll have a [Eb] good time there
And the cats in the cradle [Db] and the silver spoon
[Gb] Little Bobby [Ab] and the man on the moon
[Eb] When you come in, I don't know
[Db] I don't know where we'll be [Eb] together then
[Gb] You [Db] know that [Eb] we'll go some day
[Ab] [Eb] [Bbm]
