- My child arrived just the other day

He came to the world in the usual way
他以很平常的方式來到了這個世界
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
但是我還要為生計奔波
He learned to walk while I was away
我不在家的時候他就學會了走路
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
而且他在我知道之前學會了說話，等到他漸漸長大
He'd say 'I'm gonna be like you, Dad
他說：“爸爸，我將來會像你一樣
You know I'm gonna be like you'
你知道我將來會像你一樣”
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
然後他帶著不會消失的笑容走開了
And said, 'I'm gonna be like him, yeah
嘴裡說著， “是的，我將來要像他一樣
You know I'm gonna be like him'
你知道我將來會像他一樣”

So much like a man I just had to say

兒子，我以你為榮，你能坐一會嗎”
He shook his head and said with a smile
他搖了搖頭，笑著說道
'What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys “

See you later, can I have them please'
