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

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 a 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

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 lark

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
So cry baby cry, cry, cry, cry

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

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

Ooh, can you take me where I came from
Can you take me back
