Cry Baby Cry lyrics

Cry baby cry Make your mother sigh You're old enough to know better So, cry baby cry 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 You're 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 You're 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 You're old enough to know better So, cry baby cry At twelve o'clock a meeting 'round the table For a séance in the dark Voices out of nowhere put on specially By the children for a lark Cry baby cry Make your mother sigh You're old enough to know better So, cry baby cry Cry, cry, baby Make your mother sigh You're old enough to know better So, cry baby cry Cry, cry, baby Make your mother sigh You're old enough to know better So cry baby cry
