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.
and the jack-knife barber drops her off at school.

She's the Robin Hood of Highgate -- helps the poor man get along.

would rather make it with a letching grey.
and the jack-knife barber drops her off at school.
Cross-eyed Mary
oh Mary ohhhh Cross-eyed Mary
