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