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
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 grey
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
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

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

Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again
She signs no contract
But she always plays the game
Dines in Hampstead village
On expense accounted gruel
And the jack-knife barber drops her off at school
