Cross-eyed Mary Lyrics - Iron Maiden

Who would be a poor man a beggarman, a thief 

if he had a rich man in his hand 

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 

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. 

She's a poor man's rich girl and she'll do it for a song 

She's 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
