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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 [Flute Solo] 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 [Chorus 1] 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
