Cry Baby Cry Lyrics

Cry Baby Cry

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 dutchess 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 seance 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
Cry
baby cry
Cry cry cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know
better.
So cry baby cry.
