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
