Cross-Eyed Mary |
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 |
Hey |
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 |
Hey |
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 |
Hey |
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 |
Hey |
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 |
Hey |
Cross-eyed Mary |
Oh Mary |
Oh Cross-eyed Mary |
