There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad
He's a handsome lad, that's my boy
B R L F Q spells mom and dad
Well that ain't too bad, 'coz that's my boy
You can have your TV and your nightclubs
You can have your drive-in picture shows
I'll sit here and drink a beer and listen to the radio
Bide my time and watching Scotty grow
Making castles 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, but that's my boy
In four short years, I've grown from rags to riches
And what I did before that I don't know
Well you can let it rain on my windowpane, I got my own rainbow
And we're just sitting here shining, watching Scotty grow
Up on daddy's shoulders and off to bed
Old sleepy head, that's my boy
Gotta have a drink of water and a story read
An old teddy bear named Fred, that's my boy
Well what's that you say, momma, come on and keep your feet warm?
Well save me a place, I'll be there in a minute or so
I'll think I'll stay right here and say a little prayer before I go
'Coz me and God are watching Scotty grow
Me and God are watching Scotty grow
