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 children's holiday.
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry.
The Duchess of Kirkaldy always smiling
And arriving late for tea
The Duke was having problems
With a 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.
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.
Cry baby cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
Cry, cry, cry baby
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry
Cry, cry, cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry baby cry.
Can you take me back where I came from
Can you take me back?
Can you take me back where I came from
Brother, can you take me back
Can you take me back?
Mmm can you take me where I came from
Can you take me back?

The Beatles are and always will be my favorite band. They have the lyrics, the message, the voices. They are a great product of the sixties culture.
