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.
