Cry Baby Cry

[Intro]

Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

[Verse 1]

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]

Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry

[Verse 2]

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]

Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry

[Verse 3]

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]

Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry

[Verse 4]

At twelve o'clock a meeting round the table

For a seance in the dark

With voices out of nowhere

Put on specially by the children for a lark

[Chorus]

Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry

[Outro]

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

Mm, can you take me where I came from

Can you take me back
