Cry Baby Cry (Unumbered Rehearsal)

[Intro: John Lennon]

Uh, start again

Semolina, semolina pilchard

Green snot pie

All mixed together with a dead dog's eye

One, two, three, four

[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 séance round the table

For a séance 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
