Перевод песни

Песня: Cross-Eyed Mary*
Who'd 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 contracts 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

Laughing in the playground gets no kicks from little boys
Would rather make it with a letching gray
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
A poor man's rich girl and she'll do it for a song
A rich man's stealer but her favour's good and strong
She's the Robin Hood of Highgate lets the poor man get along

[Solo]

Laughing in the playground gets no kicks from little boys
Would rather make it with a letching gray
Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung
Who watches through the railings as they play

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

Cross-eyed Mary
Ooh, Mary
Oooohh cross-eyed Mary

Перевод песни:
Косоглазая Мэри

Кто оставался бы бедняком, попрошайкой, вором,
Если бы к нему в руки попался богач?
Кто стал бы красть конфетку изо рта смеющегося ребенка,
Если бы мог отнять её у толстосума?

Косоглазая Мэри запрыгивает вновь,
Она не заключает сделок, но всегда в игре.
Она обедает в Хэмпстеде жидкой овсянкой за чужой счёт,..... [открыть перевод]
