My child [Gb] arrived just the other day
[Ab] Came to the world in [Eb] the usual way, but there were planes to catch, [Gb] emails to pay
[Ab] He learned to walk [Eb] while I was away
[Db] We was talking before I knew [Bbm] it, and as [Db] he grew, he [Gb] said I'm [Db] gonna be [Eb] like you, dad
[Ab] You know [Db] I'm gonna [Eb] be like you
_ And the cats and the [Db] cradle and the silver [Gb] spoon
Little Bob, you [Ab] and the man on the [Eb] moon
When you're coming [Db] home, son, I don't know when
We'll get [Eb] together then
[Gb] You [Db] know we'll have a [Eb] good time _ then _ _ _ _
_ _ Well, my son [Gb] turned in just the other day
Said [Ab] thanks for [Eb] the ball, dad, come on, let's play, can't you treat a girl
I [Gb] said not today, I [Ab] got a lot to do
He [Eb] said that's okay, [Db] honey
He walked away and he smiled and he said, you know, I'm gonna be [Eb] like him, yeah
[Gb] You know [Db] I'm gonna be [Eb] like him
And the cats and the [Db] cradle and the silver spoon
[Gb] Little Bob, you [Ab] and the man on the [Eb] moon
When you're coming [Db] home, son, I don't know when
We'll get [Eb] together then
[Gb] You [Db] know we'll have a [Eb] good time then _
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Eb] _ _
Well, he came from college [Gb] just the other day
[Ab] So much like a man, I [Eb] just had to say
I'm proud of you, [Gb] could you sit for a [Ab] while
He shook his head [Eb] and he said with a smile
[Db] What I'm feeling like, dad, is to buy the car keys
See you [Eb] later, can I have them, please?
And the cats and the [Db] cradle and the silver [Gb] spoon
Little Bob, [Ab] you and the man on the [Eb] moon
When you're coming [Db] home, son, I don't know when
We'll get [Eb] together then
[Gb] You [Db] know we'll have a [Eb] good time then
[B] _ _ [Db] _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ Since [B] _ _ [Db] _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] retiring, the sons moved in
[Ab] I called [Eb] them up just the other day
I'd like to see you [Gb] if you don't mind
He [Ab] said I'd love [Eb] to, dad, if I could find the time
You [Db] see, my new job's a hassle [Bbm] and the kids [Db] are the boom
[Gb] But it's sure [Db] nice [Eb] talking to you, dad
[Gb] It's sure [Db] nice [Eb] talking to you
[Db] And as I hung up the [Bbm] phone, it occurred to [Db] me
You'd grown up just [Ebm] like me
[Eb]
[Ab] My boy [Db] was just [Eb] like me
And the cats and the cradle [Db] and the silver [Gb] spoon
Little Bob, you and the [Ab] man on the moon
[Eb] When you're coming home, [Db] son, I don't know when
[Gb] We'll [Fm] get together [Eb] then
[Gb] You know [Db] we'll have a good [Eb] time then
_ And the cats and the cradle [Db] and the silver spoon
[Gb] Little Bob, you and [Ab] the man on the moon
[Eb] When you're coming home, [Db] son, I don't know when
We'll get together [Eb] then
[Gb] You know [Fm] we'll have a [Eb] good time then
