Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

Cry baby cry



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



Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

Cry baby cry



At twelve o'clock a meeting round the table

For a seance in the dark

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

Cry baby cry
