CRY BABY CRY
(Lennon-McCartney)
1968
John's nursery rhyme song was probably inspried by television advertisements
and Donovan's hippie folk songs that he had been playing in India.
Cry baby cry make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
The King of Marigold was in the kithcen 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 for a friend who came to play
The Queen was in the playroom painting picture 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 Kircaldy 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
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 make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better so cry baby cry cry cry cry
Cry baby cry 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, mm can you take me where I came from
Can you take me back
