(Lennon/McCartney) 



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 

Cry baby cry ....
