Watching Scotty Grow Tab

by Bobby Goldsboro


                                    
There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad
       
He's a handsom lad
          
That's my boy

                       
B-R-L-F-Q spells Mom and Dad
                       
That ain't too bad
          
That's my boy

                                       
You can have your TV and your nightclubs
                                       
You can have your drive in picture show
                                                        
I'll sit here with my little man near, we'll listen to the radio
                                 
Bidin' my time and watching Scotty grow.

                                
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

   
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 sleepy head
          
That's my boy

                                  
Got to have a drink of water and a story read
        
A teddy bear named Fred
          
That's my boy


What's that you say momma
                            
Come on and keep you feet warm
     
Well save me a place
                               
I'll be there in a minute or so
                          
I'll 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...
