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
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
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
Can you take me back where are people, can you take me back
Can you take me back where are people, brother can you take me back
Can you take me back?
Oh can you take me where are people, can you take me back
