[Intro]
[Verse]
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]
Cross-eyed Mary
Goes jumpin' in, again
She signs no contract
But she always plays the game
She dines in Hampstead Village
On expense accounted gruel
And the jack-k***e barber
Drops her off at school
Heyyy!
[Verse]
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]
CROSS-EYED MARY
Finds it hard to get along
She's a poor man's rich girl
'nd 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
[Break]
[Verse]
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-yay
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
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-k***e barber
Drops her off at school
HEY!
[Outro]
Cross-eyed Mary!
Ohh, Mary
Ohhh, Cross-eyed Mary
