Cry Baby Cry
(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 sentence 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

Digging holes inside my head about what I should have said
Wishing I could find an answer or a little to shed
Regardless, insecurities t
