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.
|
|
|
Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again.
|
|
She signs no contract
|
|
But she always plays the game.
|
|
Dines in Hampstead village
|
|
On expense accounted gruel,
|
|
And the jack-knife barber drops her off at school.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
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 poorman get along…
