Cry baby cry make your mother sigh
she's old enough to know better
+7
The king of Marigold was in the kitchen
cooking breakfast for the queen
+7
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
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 ...CHORUS
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
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 TWICE (end on Em)
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?
