Cry baby cry
Make your mother sad
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 sad
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 sad
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 sad
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
A 12 o'clock meeting
round a table
for a seance in the dark
With voices out of nowhere
put on specially
by the childen for a lark
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sad
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sad
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry cry cry cry
Make your mother sad
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
