Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
[Verse 6]
The duchess of Kirkcaldy always smiling
And arriving late for tea
The duke was having problems
With a message at the local bird and bee
[Verse 7]
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
[Verse 8]
At twelve o'clock a meeting 'round the table
For a séance in the dark
With voices out of nowhere
Put on 'specially by the children for a lark
[Verse 9]
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
[Verse 10]
So cry baby cry cry cry cry baby
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
[Verse 11]
So cry baby cry cry cry cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
[Verse 12]
Can you take me back where I came from?
Can you take me back?
Can you take me back where I came from?
Brother, can you take me back?
Can you take me back?
Hmm, can you take me where I came from?
Can you take me back?
