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
