* Cry Baby Cry,
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
(cry baby cry)
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
(*)
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 holiday
(*)
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
( *)
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 dark
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
