Watching Scotty Grow

D        Gm                    D7 
There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad 
       G            A          D 
What a handsome lad, that's my boy 
D   Gm           D7  
B-R-L-F-Q spells mom and dad 
         G             A          D 
But that ain't too bad, that's my boy 
G                 A          F#m         Bm  
You can have your TV and you nightclubs 
G                     A                D 
And you can have your drive in picture show 
G                      A                      D                G   
I'll stay here with my little man near, we'll listen to the radio 
A                                  D 
Biding my time and watching Scotty grow 
  
Making 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 
 
Capo 1 (up ½ step) Same Chord progression: 
 
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 watching Scotty grow 
Me and God watching Scotty grow
