[Intro] Cry baby cry Make your mother sigh [Verse 1] The king of Marigold was in the kitchen Cooking breakfast forthequeen The queen wasin the parlour Playing piano for thechildren of the king [Chorus] Cry baby cry Make your mother sigh She's old enough to know better So cry baby cry [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Cry baby cry Make your mother sigh She's old enough to know better So cry baby cry [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Cry baby cry Make your mother sigh She's old enough to know better So cry baby cry [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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
