Cry Baby Cry

[Intro: John Lennon] Cry, baby, cry Make your mother sigh She's old enough to know better [Verse 1: John Lennon] The king of Marigold was in the kitchen Cooking breakfast for the queen The queen was in the parlour Playing piano for the children of the king [Chorus: John Lennon] Cry, baby, cry Make your mother sigh She's old enough to know better So cry, baby, cry [Verse 2: John Lennon] 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 [Chorus: John Lennon] Cry, baby, cry Make your mother sigh She's old enough to know better So cry, baby, cry [Verse 3: John Lennon] 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 [Chorus: John Lennon] Cry, baby, cry Make your mother sigh She's old enough to know better So cry, baby, cry [Verse 4: John Lennon] 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 [Chorus: John Lennon] 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 and cry and cry Make your mother sigh She's old enough to know better So cry, baby, cry [Outro: Paul McCartney] Can you take me back where I came from? Can you take me back? Can you take me back where I came from? Brahma, can you take me back? Can you take me back? Mm, can you take me where I came from? Can you take me back?
