Lyrics: Samiam. Cry Baby Cry.

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 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
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry

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

Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
