Ray Conniff - Watching Scotty Grow lyrics

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 T.V. and your night clubs 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 building 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 grown from rags to riches What I did before that, I don't know? 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 sleepyhead, that's my boy Gotta have a drink of water and a story read And a teddy bear named Fred, that's my boy What's that you say, momma, come on and keep your feet warm Well, save a place, I'll be in in a minute or so I think I'll stay right here and say a little pray'r before I go Me and God are watchin' Scotty grow
