Well A child arrived just the other day

he was talkin 'for I knew it and as he culd he said :
" I'm gonna be like you dad
you know I gonna be just like y ou"
the cats i the cradle and the silver spoon
little boy blue and the man in the moon
when you commin'home dad, "I dont know when
but we'll have a good time t hen
