A cDhild arrived just the oFther day He cGame to the world in the Dusual way But there were planes to catch, andF bills to pay GHe learned to walk while DI was away

F"Not today, I gGot a lot to do", he said, "DThat's okay" And he wCalked away but his smile never did It said, FI'm gonna be like Dhim, yeah You kFnow I'm gonna be like Dhim
And the cDat's in the cradle and the sCilver spoon FLittle boy blue and the Gman in the moon DWhen you comin' home Dad? I dCon't know when but we'll get together tDhen FYou know we'll have a good time tDhen
