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 childrens holiday
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
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 baby cry Make your mother sigh She's old enough to know better So cry baby cry
[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?
