Lyrics
0:09I've got a pocket full of pretty green
0:12I'm gonna put it in the fruit machine
0:15I'm gonna put it in the jukebox
0:18It's gonna play all the records in the hit parade
0:24I've got a pocket full of pretty green
0:27I'm gonna give it to the man behind the counter
0:31He's gonna give me food and water
0:35I'm gonna eat that and look for more
0:38This is the pretty green
0:40This is society
0:41You can't do nothing
0:43Unless it's in the pocket oh no
0:49I've got a pocket full of pretty green
0:52I'm going to put it in the fruit machine
0:55I'm going to put it in the juke box
0:58It's going to play all the records in the hit parade
1:02This is the pretty green
1:04This is society
1:06You can't do nothing
1:07Unless it's in the pocket oh no
1:13And they didn't teach me that in school
1:16It's something that I learnt on my own
1:19That power is measured by the pound or the fist
1:23It's as clear as this hey
1:40I've got a pocket full of pretty green
1:43I'm going to I'm going to put it in the fruit machine
1:47I'm going to put it in the juke juke box
1:50It's going to play all the records in the hit parade
1:54I've got a pocket full of pretty green
1:57I'm going to give it to the man behind the counter
2:01He's going to give me food and water
2:04I'm gonna eat that and look for more
2:08This is the pretty green
2:10This is society
2:11You can't do nothing
2:13Unless it's in the pocket oh no
2:18I've got a pocket full of pretty green
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 jukebox It's gonna play all the records in the hit parade 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 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 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 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 learnt on my own That power is measured by the pound or the fist It's as clear as this hey I've got a pocket full of pretty green I'm going to I'm going to put it in the fruit machine 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 give it to the man behind the counter He's going to give me food and water I'm gonna eat that and look for more 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
