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?
