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!
