Pockets Lyrics

Kid: We are rolling pockets, take two.
Leader: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Kid: 5?
Leader: Yeah, 5.
I got five pockets in my overalls
I got five pockets in my overalls
I got two on the back
One on the bib
And two in the ordinary, everyday, regular place,
In the front
With kids: I got five pockets in my overalls
I got five pockets in my overalls
I got two on the back
One on the bib
And two in the ordinary, everyday, regular, where you gotta look when you want to find them anyways place,
In the front

In the one on the right in the back,
Got a nickel from my old uncle Zack
It’s so special,
Got a indent on it with a great big buffalo-o,
Right on the back
With kids: Got a indent on it with a great big buffalo-o,
Right on the back

And two in the ordinary, everyday, regular, where you look place,

In the one on the left in the front,
Got a big bar of peanut butter crunch
It’s been in there for a month or so, I think I better eat it,
After lunch

With a big brass key to I don’t know where
And some seeds I’m gonna plant in the sidewalk,
In the cracks
With kids: gonna plant in the sidewalk,

And a couple salty crackers,
