Mac Davis Watchin` Scotty Grow Lyrics

Watchin` Scotty Grow Lyrics

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, 'coz that's my boy



You can have your TV and your nightclubs

You can have your drive-in picture shows

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

Bide my time and watching Scotty grow



Making 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

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 just sitting here shining, watching 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



Well 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'll think I'll stay right here and say a little prayer before I go

'Coz me and God are watching Scotty grow

Me and God are watching Scotty grow
