[0:0] Mr Que
[00:12.00] My child arrived just the other day;
[00:15.00] came to the world in the usually way
[00:18.00] but there were planes to catch and bills to pay.
[00:22.00] He learned to walk while I was away.
[00:24.00] He was talking before I knew it.
[00:26.00] And as he grew he said,
[00:28.00] I'm gonna be like you, Dad.
[00:31.00] You know I'm gonna be like you.
[00:35.00] And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
[00:39.00] Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[00:42.00] When you coming home?
[00:43.00] Son, I don't know when.
[00:45.00] We'll get together then.
[00:48.00] You know we'll have a good time then.
[00:58.00] Well, my son turned ten just the other day.
[01:01.00] He said, Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let's play.
[01:04.00] Could you teach me to throw? I said, Not today.
[01:08.00] I got a lot to do. He said, That's okay.
[01:11.00] And he walked away and he smiled he said,
[01:14.00] You know,
[01:15.00] I'm gonna be like him, yeah.
[01:17.00] You know I'm gonna be like him.
[01:22.00] And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
[01:25.00] Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[01:28.00] When you coming home?
[01:30.00] Son, I don't know when.
[01:32.00] We'll get together then.
[01:34.00] You know we'll have a good time then.
[01:46.00] Well, he came from college just the other day,
[01:49.00] So much like a man I just had to say,
[01:53.00] I'm proud of you. Could you sit for a while?
[01:56.00] He shook his head and he said with a smile,
[01:59.00] What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.
[02:02.00] See you later. Can I have them please?
[02:07.00] And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
[02:10.00] Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[02:13.00] When you coming home?
[02:15.00] Son, I don't know when.
[02:17.00] We'll get together then.
[02:19.00] You know we'll have a good time then.
[02:38.00] I've long since retired, my son's moved away.
[02:41.00] I called him up just the other day.
[02:46.00] I'd like to see you, if you don't mind.
[02:49.00] He said, I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time.
[02:49.00] He said, I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time.
[02:53.00] You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu,
[02:57.00] But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad.
[03:00.00] It's been sure nice talking to you.
[03:05.00] And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
[03:08.00] He'd grown up just like me.
[03:11.00] My boy was just like me.
[03:15.00] (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[03:16.00] And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
[03:19.00] Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[03:22.00] When you coming home?
[03:23.00] Son, I don't know when.
[03:26.00] We'll get together then.
[03:29.00] You know we'll have a good time then.
[03:33.00] And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
[03:36.00] Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[03:39.00] When you coming home?
[03:41.00] Son, I don't know when.
[03:43.00] We'll get together then.
[03:45.00] You know we'll have a good time then.
