There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad
What a handsome lad, that's my boy
BRLFQ spells mom and dad
Well, that ain't too bad, 'cause that's my boy
Well, you can have your TV and your nightclubs
And you can have your drive-in picture show
I'll stay here with my little man near, we'll listen to the radio
Biding my time and watching Scotty grow
Makin' a castle out of building blocks
And a cardboard box, that's my boy
Mickey Mouse says it's thirteen o'clock
Well, that's quite a shock, that's my boy
In four short years I've gone from rags to riches
And what I did before that I don't know
So let it rain on my windowpane, I got my own rainbow
And we're sittin' here shinin' watching Scotty grow
Riding on daddy's shoulders off to bed
Old sleepy head, that's my boy
Gotta have a drink of water and a story read
A teddy bear named Fred, that's my boy
What's that you say mama, come on and keep your feet warm
Well save me a place, I'll be there in a minute or so
I think I'll stay right here and say a little prayer before I go
Me and God, watching Scotty grow
Me and God, watching Scotty grow
