[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Cry, baby, cry Make your mother sigh She's old enough to know better So cry, baby, cry Cry, baby, cry Make your mother sigh She's old enough to know better So cry, baby Cry, baby, cry [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Cry, baby, cry Make your mother sigh She's old enough to know better So cry, baby, cry Cry, baby, cry Make your mother sigh She's old enough to know better So cry, baby Cry, baby, cry [Instrumental] [Verse 3] The Duchess of Kirkcaldy Always smiling and arriving late for tea The Duke was having problems With the 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 Cry, baby, cry Make your mother sigh She's old enough to know better So cry, baby [Chorus] Cry, baby, cry Make your mother sigh She's old enough to know better So cry, baby, cry Cry, baby, cry Make your mother sigh She's old enough to know better So cry, baby
