"Twenty In My Pocket"

I had a lyric request. From Sylvia So Far, this is "Twenty In My Pocket". And, for those of you who'd like to actually hear it, I have an MP3 I can e-mail you!!!

"Twenty In My Pocket"

Sylvia So Far

Timothy Mathis

I GOT A
TWENTY IN MY POCKET
AND, GOD, IT’S STRANGE.
MY POCKET’S USED TO EMPTY,
BUT IT LIKES THE CHANGE.
I GUESS I LOOK LIKE BROKE,
BUT I’M DAMNED IF I
DON’T GOT A
TWENTY IN MY POCKET
AND I’M THINKING WHAT I MIGHT BUY.

SO, TWENTY DOLLARS DON’T BUY ME
MUCH CHAMPAGNE,
BUT IT SURE COULD SPELL SOME TACOS OR A
PORK CHOW MEIN.
MAYBE TWENTY DON’T GET ME HOOT KWEEZINE,
BUT ALL THE

SAME, I CAN’T REMEMBER IF I
EVER FELT QUITE THIS FINE.

SYLVIA, SO FAR

REALITY BLOWS.
NOTHING TO SHOW FOR MY PART.
BUT GREEN LIGHTS ARE SIGNALLING,
“EVERYONE ONES.”
AND I’M KNOWIN’ WHAT THEY MEAN,
AND I THINK I NEVER SAW MYSELF A
NICER SHADE OF GREEN.

AND BABE, A

TWENTY IN MY POCKET IS
SWEET BECAUSE
A TWENTY BUYS AN AWFUL LOTTA
HAAGEN DAZS.
THINKIN’ THINGS ARE READY TO ‘BOUT EXPLODE.
I GOT A

TWENTY IN MY POCKET AND THERE’S

PLENTY MORE DOWN THE ROAD.

SYLVIA, SO FAR
MY LIFE’S PRETTY THIN.
ONLY A FACE AND PHYSIQUE.
NOTHING TO SHOW WHERE I AM OR I BEEN,
AND THE VIEW WAS KINDA BLEAK.
BUT TODAY I GOT A TWENTY…
JUST IMAGINE IN A WEEK!

I GOT A
TWENTY IN MY POCKET
AND, DAMMIT, SYL,
ORDER WHAT YOU WANNA, CAUSE I
GOT THE BILL.
YESTERDAY THE OUTLOOK WAS NAVY BLUE,
BUT WITH A
WITH A TWENTY IN MY POCKET THERE AIN’T
NOTHING THAT I CAN’T DO.
OH, I GOT A

TWENTY IN MY POCKET
AND I’M BLOWING IT ALL ON

YOU!
