Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better



The king of Marigold was in the kitchen

Cooking breakfast for the queen

The queen was in the parlor

Playing piano for the children of the king



Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry



The king was in the garden

Picking flowers for a friend who came to play

The queen was in the playroom

Painting pictures for the children's holiday



Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry



The Duchess of Kircaldy always smiling

And arriving late for tea

The Duke was having problems

With a message at the local bird and bee



Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry



At twelve o'clock a meeting ?round the table

For a séance in the dark

With voices out of nowhere

Put on specially by the children for a lark



Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby, cry cry cry cry baby

Make your mother sigh



She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry, cry cry cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry



Can you take me back where I came from?

Can you take me back?

Can you take me back where I came from?

Brother, can you take me back?

Can you take me back?



Mmm, can you take me where I came from?

Can you take me back?
