I've got a pocket full of pretty green -
I'm going to put it in the fruit machine -
I'm going to put in the jukebox -
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 give it to the man behind the counter -

He's going to give me food and water -

I'm going to eat that and look for more -
This 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 going to put it in the fruit machine -
I'm going to put it in the juke box -
It's going to play all the records in the hit parade -
This is the pretty green - this is is society -
You can't do nothing - unless it's in the pocket -
- oh no -
And they didn't teach me that in school -
It's something that I've learnt on my own -
That power is measured by the pound or the fist -
It's as clear as this - hey.

I'm going to put it in the juke box -
