[length: 04:10]
[00:59.02]Who would be a poor man, a beggarman, a thief —
[01:04.28]If he had a rich man in his hand.
[01:09.65]And who would steal the candy
[01:12.22]From a laughing baby’s mouth
[01:15.11]If he could take it from the money man.
[01:20.72]Cross-eyed mary goes jumping in again.
[01:23.49]She signs no contract
[01:28.17]But she always plays the game.
[01:31.25]Dines in hampstead village
[01:33.64]On expense accounted gruel,
[01:36.51]And the jack-knife barber drops her off at school.
[01:42.95]Laughing in the playground — gets no kicks from little boys:
[01:48.80]Would rather make it with a letching grey.
[01:55.18]Or maybe her attention is drawn by aqualung,
[01:59.36]Who watches through the railings as they play.
[02:06.28]Cross-eyed mary finds it hard to get along.
[02:11.14]She’s a poor man’s rich girl
[02:14.08]And she’ll do it for a song.
[02:17.02]She’s a rich man stealer
[02:19.46]But her favour’s good and strong:
[02:22.36]She’s the robin hood of highgate —
[02:24.82]Helps the poor man get along.
