Cats in the cradle
My child arrived just the other day;
Came to the world in a whore-house stairway
But there were folks to mug, dealers to pay
She learned to jack-up while I was away
She was on the job before I knew.
And as she grew she said,
"I'm gonna be like you, Dad.
You know I'm gonna be like you."
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Billy no mates in his slum near the toon
"When you comin' home dad ?"
"Ah dinnae ken"
"Ahm skint arra meement, hen"
"Giro day on thursday, then?"
Well, she came from prison just the other day,
Dressed like a slut, I just had to say,
"Put some clothes on you whore! your dressed like trash"
She shook her head, said she needed some cash
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow your crack pipe.
See you later. Can I have it please ?"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Billy no mates in his slum near the toon
"When you comin' home dad ?"
"Ah dinnae ken"
"Ahm skint arra meement, hen"
"Giro day on thursday, then?"
I've long since retired, from that toilet cleaning job.
Now I'm fiddling disabilities, and doon the pob.
"I'd like to see you, if you dont mind."
She said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time".
"You see I'm on the jeremy kyle show and the kids have the clap,
But it's sure nice talkin' to you, Dad.
It's been sure nice talkin' to you."
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
She'd grown up just like me.
My girl was just like me.
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
