Cry Baby Cry lyrics

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 parlour

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 duchess of Kirkcaldy 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 séance in the dark

With voices out of nowhere

Put on specially by the children for a laugh

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

Can you take me back

Where I've been from?

Can you take me back?

Can you take me back

Where I've been from?

Brother, can you take me back?

Can you take me back?

Mm, can you take me

Where I've been from?

Can you take me

Back?…
