《Cat》歌词

[00:00:00] Cats In The Cradle

[00:00:05] Harry Chapin

[00:00:12] A child arrived just the other day

[00:00:15] He came to the world in the usual way

[00:00:18] But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay

[00:00:22] He learned to walk while I was away, and he was

[00:00:25] Talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew, he said:

[00:00:28] I'm gonna be like you, dad,

[00:00:31] You know I'm gonna be like you

[00:00:36] And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon

[00:00:39] Little boy blue and the man on the moon

[00:00:42] When you comin' home, dad, I don't know when

[00:00:45] But we'll get together then,

[00:00:49] You know we'll have a good time then.

[00:01:01] My son turned ten just the other day, he said

[00:01:04] Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play

[00:01:07] Can you teach me to throw, I said not today,

[00:01:09] I got a lot to do, he said that's okay

[00:01:12] And he walked away but his smile never dimmed, it said

[00:01:16] I'm gonna be like him, yeah

[00:01:19] You know I'm gonna be like him.

[00:01:23] And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon

[00:01:27] Little boy blue and the man on the moon

[00:01:30] When you comin' home, dad, I don't know when

[00:01:33] But we'll together then,

[00:01:36] You know we'll have a good time then.

[00:01:47] Well he came from college just the other day

[00:01:50] So much like a man I just had to say

[00:01:53] Son I'm proud of you, can ya sit for a while?

[00:01:56] He shook his head, and he said, with a smile

[00:01:59] What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys

[00:02:03] See ya later, can I have them please?

[00:02:07] And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon

[00:02:10] Little boy blue and the man on the moon

[00:02:13] When you comin' home, son, I don't know when

[00:02:16] But we'll get together then, dad

[00:02:19] You know we'll have a good time then.

[00:02:37] I've long since retired, my son's moved away

[00:02:41] I called him up just the other day.

[00:02:45] I said, I'd like to see you, if you don't mind, he said

[00:02:48] I'd love to, dad, if I can find the time.

[00:02:52] You see my new job's a hassle and the kids are the flu

[00:02:55] But it's sure nice talkin' to you, dad

[00:02:58] It's been sure nice talkin' to you.

[00:03:03] And as I hung up the phone it occured to me,

[00:03:06] He'd grown up just like me,

[00:03:09] My boy was just like me.

[00:03:14] And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon

[00:03:17] Little boy blue and the man on the moon

[00:03:20] When you comin' home, son, I don't know when

[00:03:23] But we'll get together then, dad

[00:03:26] Were gonna have a good time then.

[00:03:26] Were gonna have a good time then.
