JETHRO TULL - Cross-eyed Mary lyrics

rate me

Who would be a poor man, a beggarman, a thief --<br>If he had a rich man in his hand.<br>And who would steal the candy<br>From a laughing baby's mouth<br>If he could take it from the money man.<br>Cross-eyed mary goes jumping in again.<br>She signs no contract<br>But she always plays the game.<br>Dines in hampstead village<br>On expense accounted gruel,<br>And the jack-knife barber drops her off at school.<br>Laughing in the playground -- gets no kicks from little boys:<br>Would rather make it with a letching grey.<br>Or maybe her attention is drawn by aqualung,<br>Who watches through the railings as they play.<br>Cross-eyed mary finds it hard to get along.<br>She's a poor man's rich girl<br>And she'll do it for a song.<br>She's a rich man stealer<br>But her favour's good and strong:<br>She's the robin hood of highgate --<br>Helps the poor man get along.
