lyrics: [Intro]
  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 parlour
  Playing piano for the children of the king
  
  [Chorus]
  Cry baby cry
  Make your mother sigh
  She's old enough to know better
  So cry baby cry
  
  [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
  
  [Chorus]
  Cry baby cry
  Make your mother sigh
  She's old enough to know better
  So cry baby cry
  
  [Verse 3]
  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
  
  [Chorus]
  Cry baby cry
  Make your mother sigh
  She's old enough to know better
  So cry baby cry
  
  [Verse 4]
  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
  
  [Chorus]
  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
  So cry baby cry
  
  [Outro]
  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?
  Mm, can you take me where I came from?
  Can you take me back?
