[Verse 1]
            
  Who would be

              
 a poor man, a

 
 beggar man, a

 thief
             
If he had a ri

              
ch man in his 

     *
hand?

And who would 

steal the cand

y
       
From a laughin

g baby's mouth
             
If he could ta

              
ke it from the

          *
 money man?


[Chorus 1]
       
Cross-eyed Mar

y
        
Goes jumping i

   
n again
        
She signs no c

  
ontract
        
But she always

           
 plays the gam

e
        
She dines in H

      
ampstead villa

ge
     
On expense acc

       
ounted gruel
     
And the jack-k

     
nife barber
             
Drops her off 

             
at school


[Verse 2]

Laughing in th

e playground
        
Gets no kicks 

from little bo

Would rather m

              
ake it with a 

             *
letching grey
            
Or maybe her a

            
ttention is dr

awn by Aqualun

g
             
Who watches th

              
rough the rail

             
ings as they p

    *
lay


[Chorus 2]
       
Cross-eyed Mar

y
        
Finds it hard 

       
to get along
        
She's a poor m

          
an's rich girl
          
And she'll do 

       
it for a song
       
She's a rich m

   
an stealer
       
But her favour

          
's good and st

rong
        
She's the Robi

       
n Hood of High

gate
             
Helps the poor

           
 man get along
