Who would be a poor man a beggarman, a thief |
|
If he had a rich man in his hand |
|
Who would steal the candy from a laughing baby's mouth |
|
If he could take it from the money man |
|
Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again |
|
She signs no contract but she always plays the game |
|
She dines in Hampstead village on expense accounted gruel |
|
And the jack knife barber drops her off at school |
|
Laughing in the playground gets no kicks from little boys |
|
Would rather make it with a letching gray |
|
Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung |
|
Who watches through the railings as they play |
|
Cross-eyed Mary finds it hard to get along. |
|
She's a poor man's rich girl and she'll do it for a song |
|
She's a rich man's stealer but her favour's good and strong |
|
She's the Robin Hood of Highgate helps the poor man get along |
|
Laughing in the playground gets no kicks from little boys |
|
Would rather make it with a letching gray |
|
Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung |
|
Who watches through the railings as they play |
|
Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again |
|
She signs no contract but she always plays the game |
|
She dines in Hampstead village on expense accounted gruel |
|
And the jack knife barber drops her off at school |
|
Cross-eyed Mary |
|
Ooohh, Mary |
|
Cross-eyed Mary |
