"Watching Scotty Grow"

My grandma told me about this song written in 1970 called "Watching Scotty Grow". I found it on the internet and fell in love with it. It is perfect for us and our Scotty. It is so sweet it brings tears to my eyes when I hear it. 

"Watching Scotty Grow"

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 you 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
Biding 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
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 sitting here shining
Watching Scotty grow


Riding on daddy's shoulders 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
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
Me and God
Watching Scotty grow
Me and God
Watching Scotty grow...

You can also watch it being performed on the Lawrence Welk Show here.

From this... 

To this in only 8 1/2 months!  

I can't believe how fast Scotty is growing!
