Watching Scotty Grow lyrics

[Verse 1]
There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad
He's 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Me and God are watchin' Scotty grow
