Intro
Verse 1
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
Chorus 1
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
Verse 2
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
Chorus 2
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
Bridge
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
Chorus 3
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
