Cross-eyed Mary Lyrics - Aqualung - Jethro Tull

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
