Cats in the cradle by Ugly Kid Joe

My child arrived (1)________ the (2)__________ day
Come to the world in the usual way
But there were (3)____________ to catch
And bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
He was talking for a minute
And as he grew
He'd say I'm gonna be like you Dad
You know I'm gonna be (4)________ you
And the cats in the cradle
And the silver spoon
Little boy (5)________ and the
Man on the moon
When you comin' home son
I don't (6)________ when
We'll get (7)________________ then
You know we'll have
A (8)________ time then
Well my son turned ten
Just the other day

He said that's o.k.
And he walked (11)________ and he
Smiled and he said
You know I'm gonna be like him yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him
And the cats in the cradle
And the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the
Man on the moon

We'll get together then
You know we'll have
A (13)________ time then
Well he came from college
Just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say

Sit for a while
He shook his head

See you later can I (16)________ them please
And the cats in the cradle
And the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the
Man on the moon
When you comin' home son

We'll get together then
You know we'll have
A good time then
I've long since retired
My son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I'd like to see you if you don't mind
He said
I'd love to Dad
If I could find the time
You see my new job's hassle
And the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you Dad
It's been sure nice talking to you
And as I hung up the phone
I occured to me

My boy was just (19)________ me
And the cats in the cradle
And the silver spoon
Little boy (20)________ and the
Man on the moon

A good (21)________ then
And the cats in the cradle
And the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the
Man on the moon
When you comin' home son

We'll get (22)________________ then
You know we'll have
A good time then
