[00:00:00] Cat's In The Cradle (摇篮里的猫) (Karaoke track With Demo Vocal) (In the style of Harry Chapin) - Backtrack Professional Karaoke Band

[00:00:12] My child arrived just the other day;

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

[00:00:17] But there were planes to catch and bills to pay

[00:00:21] He learned to walk while I was away

[00:00:24] And he was talking before I knew it

[00:00:26] And as he grew he'd say:

[00:00:27] "I'm going to be like you dad

[00:00:29] You know I'm going to be like you "

[00:00:35] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon

[00:00:38] Little boy blue and the man in the moon

[00:00:42] "When you coming home dad "

[00:00:42] "I don't know when

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

[00:00:48] You know we'll have a good time then "

[00:00:59] My son turned ten just the other day

[00:01:02] He said "Thanks for the ball dad come on let's play

[00:01:05] Can you teach me to throw "

[00:01:07] I today I've said "Not got a lot to do "

[00:01:10] He said "That's OK "

[00:01:11] And he walked away but his smile never dimmed;

[00:01:15] He said I'm going to be like him yeah

[00:01:17] You know I'm going to be like him

[00:01:21] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon

[00:01:25] Little boy blue and the man in the moon

[00:01:28] "When you coming home dad "

[00:01:30] "I don't know when

[00:01:31] But we'll get together then

[00:01:35] You know we'll have a good time then "

[00:01:46] Well he came from college just the other day

[00:01:49] So much like a man I just had to say

[00:01:52] "Son I'm proud of you can you sit for a while "

[00:01:55] He shook his head and said with a smile

[00:01:58] "What I'd really like Dad is to borrow the car keys

[00:02:02] See you later can I have them please "

[00:02:06] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon

[00:02:09] Little boy blue and the man in the moon

[00:02:12] "When you coming home son "

[00:02:13] "I don't know when

[00:02:15] But we'll get together then

[00:02:17] You know we'll have a good time then "

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

[00:02:40] I called him up just the other day

[00:02:44] I said "I'd like to see you if you don't mind "

[00:02:47] He said "I'd love to Dad if I can fine the time

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

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

[00:02:57] It's sure been nice talking to you "

[00:03:03] And as I hung up the phone it occurred 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 crader and the silver spoon

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

[00:03:20] "When you coming home son "

[00:03:21] "I don't know when

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

[00:03:26] You know we'll have a good time then "
