Cross Eyed Mary Meaning

[[Verse 1]
Who would be a poor man, a beggarman, 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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Laughing in the playground
Gets no kicks from little boys
Would rather make it with a letching grey
Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung
Who watches through the railings as they play
Hey
, [Chorus 2]
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

[Flute Solo]

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Laughing in the playground
Gets no kicks from little boys
Would rather make it with a letching grey
Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung
Who watches through the railings as they play
Hey

[Chorus 1]
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
, [Outro]
Cross-eyed Mary
Oh Mary
Oh Cross-eyed Mary]
