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 Duchess 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   So 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 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?   Can you take me where I came from?   Can you take me back?
