* ThrivingExCrush: Played with in "Taxi", in which the narrator is a cab driver who happens to pick up his ex-girlfriend Sue. She's clearly married rich, and he drops her off at a fancy house, but he speculates that she's only acting happy (although it's worth noting that he's also using drugs to cope with his own unhappiness and thus might be projecting.) Subverted in a sequel song ten years later, called "Sequel", in which the driver, now a successful musician, finds Sue again, and this time she's working-class and living in a modest brownstone, but also happier.

* RayOfHopeEnding: By the end of "Flowers Are Red", the boy has started drawing flowers with red petals and green leaves like his first teacher wanted him to, and lost his creativity. But now he has a nice teacher who encourages him to draw whatever he wants, suggesting that he could learn to have fun and be creative again.

* TeachersUnfavoriteStudent: "Flowers Are Red" is about a little boy who has the creativity squashed out of him by his mean teacher, who punishes him for drawing flowers of many colors while saying, "Flowers are red, young man, and green leaves are green. There's no need to see flowers any other way than the way they always have been seen." After some time, he moves to a different school with a nicer teacher who encourages him to have fun painting and draw colorful flowers, but he draws them in neat rows with red petals and green leaves. When asked why, he repeats what his first teacher said: "Flowers are red and green leaves are green. There's no need to see flowers any other way than the way they always have been seen."

-->In 1963, Black and White upon the land\\
She brought me to the monuments and made us all join hands\\
And scarcely six months later, she held me through the night\\
When we heard of what had happened in that brutal Dallas light
** The march on Washington was in August 1963, three months -- not six -- before President Kennedy was assassinated.

* BittersweetEnding: One interpretation of "Cat's in the Cradle": The father and the son never get to have time together, but the son mentions one of the reasons he can't visit is because his own sun is "sick with the flu", implying that he's trying to be there for his own son.

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: "Cat's in the Cradle" has the father observe that his son is "just like (him)." Depending on how you interpret the song, and the fact that the boy is busy with his sick children, it can prove that the son actually makes time for his family, unlike his father.

** "30,000 Pounds of Bananas" is a cheerful, up-tempo song and a crowd-pleasing favorite... about a real-life fatal truck accident. Originally intended to be serious, until Chapin realized how hard it was to keep a straight face while singing about a man being killed by bananas.[[note]]Nonetheless, Chapin always refused to perform the song when playing concerts in Pennsylvania (where the actual accident took place) out of respect for the victim's memory.[[/note]]
