Watching Scotty Grow

There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad

What a handsome lad, that's my boy

B-R-L-F-Q spells mom and dad

Well that ain't too bad, 'cause that's my boy

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 watching Scotty grow

Making a castle out of building blocks

And a cardboard box, that's my boy

Micky Mouse says it's thirteen o'clock

Well that's quite a shock, but that's my boy

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 sitting here shining,

watching Scotty grow

Riding on daddy's shoulders off to bed

Old sleepyhead, that's my boy

Gotta have a drink of water and a story read

A teddybear named Fred, that's my boy

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 think I'll stay right here

And say a little prayer before I go

Me and God are watching Scotty grow

Me and God are watching Scotty grow
