Lyrics

Who would be a poor man, a beggarman, a thief
 If he had a rich man in his hand?
 And 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 grey
 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 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 grey
 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
 ♪
 Oh, Mary
 Oh, cross-eyed Mary
