“cry baby cry” (lyrics)

CHORUS:

cry baby cry
make your mother sigh
she’s old enough to know better

VERSE 1:

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

VERSE 2:

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

VERSE 3:

the duchess of kilcardy always smiling and arriving late for tea
the duke was having problems with a message at the local ‘bird and bee’

VERSE 4:

at 12 a’clock a meeting round the table for a seance in the dark
with voices out of nowhere put on specially for the children for a lark

OUTRO:

can you take me back where i came from?
can you take me back?

can you take me back where i came from?
robert can you take me back?
