[Intro] 
           D - G - D - G - D - D

[Verse 1]
D                              A
There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad
        G             A         D
What a handsome lad, that's my boy
D             A
BRLFQ spells mom and dad
            G                     A         D
Well, that ain't too bad, 'cause that's my boy

[Chorus 1]
                 G                A            D
          Well, you can have your TV and your nightclubs
               G                 A               Bm
          And you can have your drive-in picture show
          G                      A                       D               Bm
          I'll stay here with my little man near, we'll listen to the radio
           G                  A               D
          Biding my time and watching Scotty grow

[Verse 2]
Makin' 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

[Chorus 2]

          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 sittin' here shinin' watching Scotty grow

[Bridge]

               D7
                     D                           A
                    Riding on daddy's shoulders off to bed
                         G            A         D
                    Old sleepy head, that's my boy
                     D                                 A
                    Gotta have a drink of water and a story read
                             G                A         D
                    A teddy bear named Fred, that's my boy

[Chorus 3]
          What's that you say mama, 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, watching Scotty grow

          Me and God, watching Scotty grow
