You're the baby
I've been callin' my own
Oh! me, Oh! my,
You're about
the meanest baby I've known.
And here's just why,
When I wanna kiss,
You answer no
I'll tell you this,
I'm gonna go
and babies always cry
when they're left alone..

You'll get those

Cry baby blues
you're gonna cry baby,
Cry baby blues
Just means good bye baby;
Sugar o' mine
You're so refined,
You won't do this!
Won't do that!
What's on your mind?
Cry baby blues
you're gonna die baby;
Kisses you'll lose
as sweet as pie, baby;
Ask mos' any sweetie
at the candy shop
What good is a lolly
without any pop?
If I skiddoos
you're gonna cry Baby
Those Cry Baby Blues.

Cry baby blues
you're gonna cry baby,
Cry baby blues
Just means good bye baby;
Sugar o' mine
You're so refined,
You won't do this!
Won't do that!
What's on your mind?
Cry baby blues
you're gonna die baby;
Kisses you'll lose
as sweet as pie, baby;
Ask mos' any sweetie
at the candy shop
What good is a lolly
without any pop?
If I skiddoos
you're gonna cry Baby
Those Cry Baby Blues.

You must think your kiss
is made out of gold
Oh! me, Oh! my,
They won't do you any good
when you're old,
And here's just why,
When roses are red,
bees hang around
When they are dead
bees can't be found
There'll be no bees around
when your love grows cold.

You'll get those

Cry baby blues
you're gonna cry baby,
Cry baby blues
Just means good bye baby;
Sugar o' mine
You're so refined,
You won't do this!
Won't do that!
What's on your mind?
Cry baby blues
you're gonna die baby;
Kisses you'll lose
as sweet as pie, baby;
Ask mos' any sweetie
at the candy shop
What good is a lolly
without any pop?
If I skiddoos
you're gonna cry Baby
Those Cry Baby Blues.

Cry baby blues
you're gonna cry baby,
Cry baby blues
Just means good bye baby;
Sugar o' mine
You're so refined,
You won't do this!
Won't do that!
What's on your mind?
Cry baby blues
you're gonna die baby;
Kisses you'll lose
as sweet as pie, baby;
Ask mos' any sweetie
at the candy shop
What good is a lolly
without any pop?
If I skiddoos
you're gonna cry Baby
Those Cry Baby Blues.
