EmWho would be a poor man, a beggaFrman, a thief --
if he had a rich man in his hand.
EmAnd who would steal the candy from a lFaughing 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.
EmLaughing in the playground -- gets no Fkicks from little boys:
would rather make it with a letching grey.
EmOr maybe her attention is Fdrawn 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 poor man get along.
