| I've got a pocket full of pretty green - | |
| I'm gonna put it in the fruit machine - | |
| I'm gonna put it in the juke box - | |
| It's gonna play all the records in the hit parade - | |
| This is the pretty green - this is society | |
| You can't do nothing - unless it's in the pocket | |
| - oh no - | |
| I've got a pocket full of pretty green | |
| I'm gonna give it to the man behind the counter | |
| He's gonna give me food and water - | |
| I'm gonna eat that and look for more - | |
| And they didn't teach me that in school - | |
| It's something that i learnt on my own - | |
| That power is measured by the pound or the fist - | |
| It's as clear as this oh - | |
| I've got a pocket full of pretty green! |
