Watching Scotty Grow

Watching Scotty Grow - Bobby Goldsboro

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
