CThere he sits with a Fpen and a yellow pad
He's a Ghandsom lad
That's my Cboy
CB-R-L-F-Q spells FMom and Dad
That Gain't too bad
That's my Cboy
FYou can have your GTV and your CnightclubsAm  
FYou can have your Gdrive in picture CshowAm  
FI'll sit here with my Glittle man near, Cwe'll listen to the Amradio
FBidin' my time and Gwatching Scotty Cgrow.
CMakin' a castle out of Fbuilding blocks
And a Gcardboard box
That's my Cboy
CMickey Mouse says it's Fthirteen o'clock
Well that's Gquite a shock!
That's my Cboy
In Ffour short years
I've Ggone from rags to CrichesAm  
And Fwhat I did Gbefore that I don't CknowAm  
So Flet it rain on my Gwindowpane
I Cgot my own rainAmbow
And we're Fsitting here shining
GWatching Scotty Cgrow
Riding on Cdaddy's shoulders Foff to bed
Old Gsleepy head
That's my Cboy
CGot to have a drink of water and a Fstory read
A teddy Gbear named Fred
That's my Cboy
FWhat's that you say momma
GCome on and keep you Cfeet warmAm  
Well Fsave me a place
I'll Gbe there in a minute or CsoAm  
I'll Fthink I'll stay right Ghere and
Say a Clittle prayer before I Amgo
FMe and God are
GWatching Scotty Cgrow
FMe and God are
GWatching Scotty Cgrow...
