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!
