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 it clean
 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 gray
 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
 A poor man's rich girl and she'll do it for a song
 A rich man's 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 gray
 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 it clean
 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
