Pretty Green Lyrics

[Intro]
Hey!

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
This is the pretty green, this is society
You can't do nothing unless it's in the pocket, oh no

[Verse 1]
I've got a pocket full of pretty green
I'm gonna give it to the fruit machine
I'm gonna put it in the jukebox
It's gonna play all the records in the hit parade

[Chorus]
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, P R E double T Y G R double E N
P R E double T Y G R double E N
P R E double T Y G R double E N
P R E double T Y G R double E N

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
This is the pretty green, this is society
You can't do nothing unless it's in the pocket, oh no
[Outro]
I've got a pocket full of pretty green
Alright
Alright, already

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
