Ive got a pocket full of pretty green -

Im gonna put it in the fruit machine -

Im gonna put it in the juke box -

Its gonna play all the records in the hit parade -

This is the pretty green - this is society

You cant do nothing - unless its in the pocket

- oh no -



Ive got a pocket full of pretty green

Im gonna give it to the man behind the counter

Hes gonna give me food and water -

Im gonna eat that and look for more -



And they didnt teach me that in school -

Its something that I learnt on my own -

That power is measured by the pound or the fist -

Its as clear as this oh -



Ive got a pocket full of pretty green!
