*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
* 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
* So cry, baby, cry
The duchess of Kirkcaldy always smiling
And arriving late for tea
The Duke was having problems
With a massage at the local bird and bee
* 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
* So cry, baby, cry
* 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 back
