Cry Baby Cry

( J. Lennon, P. McCartney )

Cry baby cry, make your mother sigh.
She's old enough to know better.

The 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 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, make your mother sigh.
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry.

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.

Cry baby cry, make your mother sigh.
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry.

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.

Cry baby cry, make your mother sigh.
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry.
