There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad
What a handsome lad that's my boy
BRLFQ spells mom and dad
But that ain't too bad that's my boy.

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
Bidin' 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
What I did before that I don't know
But let it rain on my window pane I got my own rainbow
And we're sittin' here shining watching Scotty grow.

Ridin' on daddy's shoudlers 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
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...
