There can be no denying
We like to see each other trying
Even the softest whimper
Can make a grown man sympathise
Right between your lies I want to be
A cuckoo always has his own key
So Cookie don't cry for me
Oh my Cookie don't cry for me
You won't like what you see if you cry for me

So Cookie's daddy was a sailor
And she grew up in a trailer park
Sucking on a greasy spoon
Waiting for a train but it came too soon
Oh hey, she was growing up in her own way
And soon she'll earn enough for three
So Cookie don't cry for me
Oh my Cookie don't cry for me
You won't like what you see if you cry for me

Cookie, won't you cook something up for me
And we can share an age-old recipe

Today I went to see her
Somebody said she'd moved away
She got an offer in the city
And now she's dancing twice a day
Putting on a wonderful display
And now she earns enough for three
So Cookie don't cry for me
Oh my Cookie don't cry for me
Oh no Cookie don't cry for me
You won't like what you see if you cry for me
Cookie
