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!
