Cry Baby Cry

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 parlour 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 childrens 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 cry cry cry baby Make your mother sigh She's old enough to know better cry baby cry Cry cry cry make your mother sigh She's old enough to know better So cry baby cry Can you take me back where I came from? Can you take me back? Can you take me back where I came from? Brother can you take me back? Can you take me back? Oooh, can you take me where I came from? Can you take me back? --- Cry Baby Cry - Katie Melua
