Cry Baby Cry
  Make your mother sigh
  She's old enough to know better
  So 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 Kilcardy always smiling
  and arriving late for tea
  The duke was having problems with the 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 sentence 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
