Analysis of The Money in my Pocket



With the money in my pocket,
I will buy a locket,
And give it to my friend Davy Crockett.
My friend Davy Crockett,
Sent it to the moon in a rocket.
With the money in my pocket I will buy,
A coke and a small fry.
If they are not good,
I will start to cry.
With the money in my pocket,
I will buy a pair of blue jeans,
And also a box of Mexican jumping beans.
Yesterday I saw a flea,
I will buy a new CD.
And thats what I would buy,
With the money in my pocket.
