| 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 children’s holiday
|
| Cry baby cry…
|
| The duchess of Kirkcaldy always smiling and arriving late for tea
|
| The duke was having problems with a message at the local Bird and Bee
|
| Cry baby cry…
|
| Twelve o’clock a meeting 'round the table for a seance in the dark
|
| With voices out of nowhere put on especially by the children for a lark
|
| Cry baby cry… |
