Watching Scotty Grow

There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad

He's a handsome lad

That's my boy

P-R-L-F-Q spells "mom and dad"

Well, that ain't too bad

'Cause that's my boy

You can have your TV and your nightclubs

And you can have your drive-in picture shows

I'll sit here and drink a beer and listen to the radio

Bidin' my time and watchin' Scotty grow

Makin' castles out of buildin' blocks

And a cardboard box

That's my boy

Mickey 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

Well, you can let it rain on my windowpane, I got my own rainbow

And we're sittin' here shinin' watchin' Scotty grow

Up on daddy's shoulders and off to bed

Old sleepy head

That's my boy

Gotta have a drink of water and a story read

An old teddy bear named Fred

That's my boy

What's that you say, Momma? Come on and keep your feet warm

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

'Cause me and God are watchin' Scotty grow

Me and God are watchin' Scotty grow
