Cross-Eyed Mary

In the style of

Jethro Tull

Lyrics

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
a-goes
jumping in again
she signs no contract
but she always plays
the game

she dines in
hampstead village
on expense-account
gruel

and the
jackknife barber
drops her off
at school
hey

laughin' 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
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 favor's
good and strong

she's the robin hood
of highgate
helps the poor man
get along-a
hey

woo doot doo doo
doodle ooh doo

laughin' in
the playground
gets no kick
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
yeah

cross-eyed mary
a-goes
jumping in again
she signs no contract
but she always plays
the game

she dines in
hampstead village
on expense-account
gruel

and the
jackknife barber
drops her off
at school
hey

cross-eyed mary
yeah
oh mary
oh oh oh oh oh
cross-eyed mary
yo
