Does anyone know the name of this song?

Question

the chorus goes something like this:
"and the sheep are in the meadow....
little boy blue come blow your horn"

and in the end it says "and he ended up just like you, dad, he ended up just like you"

its a song from the 80's i think...
all help is appreciated =]

Answer 1

Sound a little mixed up are you thinking "Cats in the Cradle"
My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad
You know I'm gonna be like you"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home dad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

My son turned ten just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today
I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok"
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

Well, he came home from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head and said with a smile
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time
You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad
It's been sure nice talking to you"

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

Answer 10

I think you got two songs mixed up
Tom Wait
Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn
The dish ran away with the spoon
Home again, home again Saturday morn
He never gets up before noon

Well, she used to render you legal and tender
When you used to send her your promises, boy
A diller, a dollar, unbutton your collar
And come out and holler out all of your noise

So Little Boy Blue, come blow your top
And cut it right down to the quick
Don't sit home and cry on the Fourth of July
Around now you're hittin' the bricks

So abracadabra, now she disappeared
Everything's Canada Dry
So watch your behavior and rattle your cage
With a bottle of Bourbon, goodbye

So Little Boy Blue lost little Bo Peep
She fell through a hole in the nest
Now ain't it peculiar that she's finally cooled
Your big wheels just like all of the rest

Whenever it rains, the umbrellas complain
They always get played for a chump
So mark it and strike it, she's history now
And you're hangin' out at the pump

Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn
The dish ran away with the spoon
Home again, home again Saturday morn
He never gets up before noon

Well, she used to render you legal and tender
When you used to send her your promises boy
A diller, a dollar, unbutton your collar
And come out and holler out all of your noise
