Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
Verse:
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
Chorus:
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
Verse:
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
Chorus:
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
Verse:
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
Chorus:
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
Verse:
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
Chorus:
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
Chorus:
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, brother can you take me back?
Can you take me back?
Oh can you take me where I came from, can you take me back?
