From the recording Pocket Pair
Music and lyrics by Esther Wheaton and Dave Pike
Lyrics
Got my fingers in my pocket
Got a ringlet in my locket
Got my pride, so don't you knock it
But I don't know what to do
Mad as a hatter, thin as a dime
Running low on money
Running out of time
Got a pair of hands to feed my face
A fork and spoon for just in case
A pocket pair to beat that ace
But I don't know what to do
My stocking feet are good and warm
This old tin roof keeps out the storm
Don't have to wear no uniform
But I don't know what to do
Ride out on the horse you rode in on
Gotta turn myself around before I'm going going gone
Because I'm mad as a hatter, thin as a dime
Running low on money and I'm running out of time
