Cross-Eyed Mary - Iron Maiden

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

She dines in Hampstead village

On expense accounted gruel

And the jack-knife barber

Drops her off at school

Hey

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

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

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

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

Cross-eyed Mary

Oh Mary

Oh Cross-eyed Mary
