Who would be a poor man   A beggar man, 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 gray, yeah   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 gray, yeah   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      Hey, cross-eyed Mary, oh baby, oh, cross-eyed Mary
