She's old enough to know better
And arriving late for tea
She's old enough to know better
Put on specially by the children for a lark
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
Make your mother sigh
With a message at the local bird and bee
Picking flowers for a friend who came to play
She's old enough to know better
Make your mother sigh
Make your mother sigh
Cry baby cry
With voices out of nowhere
She's old enough to know better
She's old enough to know better
The Duchess of Kircaldy always smiling
For a seance in the dark
So cry baby cry, cry, cry, cry baby
Can you take me back?
Can you take me back?
Can you take me back where I came from?
The king was in the garden
Make your mother sigh
Brother can you take me back?
Cry baby cry
The king of marigold was in the kitchen
Playing piano for the children of the king
The duke was having problems
Painting pictures for the children's holiday
Cooking breakfast for the queen
Can you take me where I came from?
Make your mother sigh
Can you take me back where I came from?
Cry baby cry
So cry baby cry
So cry baby cry, cry, cry, cry
So cry baby cry
So cry baby cry
The queen was in the parlor
At twelve o'clock a meeting round the table
The queen was in the playroom
She's old enough to know better
Cry baby cry
So cry baby cry
