Fool's Garden - Cry Baby Cry lyrics

rate me

(Lennon / McCartney)

Cry Baby Cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry

The king of Marigold was in the kitchen

cooking breakfast for the queen

The queen was in the parlor 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

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry

The duchess of Kirkcaldy always smiling

and arriving late for tea

The duke was having problems with the 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

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
