From the album ¨America¹s least wanted² - 1992 Mercury / Polygram

[Curiously, these lyrics don¹t appear in the booklet of the album. Perhaps it is because it is a cover. This is the official version of the lyrics. I found these with the tablatures of the song.]

@SONG: CATS IN THE CRADLE

My child arrived just the other day;
Came to the world in the usually way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay.
He learned to walk while I was away.
He was talkin¹ Œfore I knew it.
And as he grew he said,
¨I¹m gonna be like you, Dad.
You know I¹m gonna be like you.²

Chorus :
And the cat¹s in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man Œn the moon.
¨When you comin¹ home ?²
¨Son, I don¹t know when.
We¹ll get together then.
You know we¹ll have a good time then.²

Well, my son turned ten just the other day.
He said , ¨Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let¹s play.
Could you teach me to throw ?² I said, ¨Not today.
I got a lot to do.² He said, ¨That¹s okay.²
And he walked away and he smiled and he said,
¨You know,
I¹m gonna be like him, yeah.
You know I¹m gonna be like him.²

Chorus

Well, he came from college just the other day,
So much like a man I just had to say,
¨I¹m proud of you. Could you sit for a while ?²
He shook his head and he said with a smile,
¨What I¹d really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.
See you later. Can I have them please ?²

Chorus :
And the cat¹s in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man Œn the moon.
¨When you comin¹ home, Son ?²
¨I don¹t know when.
We¹ll get together then.
You know we¹ll have a good time then.²

I¹ve long since retired, my son¹s moved away.
I called him up just the other day.
¨I¹d like to see you, if you don¹t mind.²
He said, ¨I¹d love to, Dad, if I could find the time.
You see my new job¹s a hassle and the kids have the flu,
But it¹s sure nice talkin¹ to you, Dad.
It¹s been sure nice talkin¹ to you.²

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
He¹d grown up just like me.
My boy was just like me.
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Chorus
