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
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...

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...

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

Cry baby Cry...
