Cry Baby Cry Lyrics

(Lennon / McCartney)Cry Baby Cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cryThe 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 kingCry Baby Cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cryThe 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 holidayCry Baby Cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cryThe duchess of Kirkcaldy always smiling
and arriving late for tea
The duke was having problems with the message

at the local Bird and BeeCry Baby Cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cryTwelve 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 larkCry Baby Cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
