Cry Baby Cry

Cry Baby Cry
Make your mother sigh
She's 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
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 sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry.

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.

Cry Baby Cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry.

Twelve o'clock a meeting 'round the table
for a sentence in the dark
With voices out of nowhere put on specially
by the children for a lark.

Cry Baby Cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry.
