Well listen to the story I'm going to tell
This is a real true story it's a common tale
The main reason for my troubles all over the world
And I am talking just about a simple hole
There are all kinds of holes, some better some worse
Round, deep, dry, wet, dark, hairy, big, small
There are even black holes far away in the sky
But there's especially one which is sucking my life
There's a hole in my pocket
A hole in my pocket
There's a hole in my pocket
A hole in my pocket
There's a hole in my pocket darling
And it seems to have no bottom at all
I keep working night and day like an ancient slave
Just to pay my filthy bills and live for today
Money goes as it comes I just cannot explain
And that hole in my life is the thing that I blame
I try to stretch my coins to see if they last longer
But the magnet in my hole seems to be much stronger
And I don't know what to do to sew my little hole
Maybe someday I'll try to stuff in one of my balls
There's a hole in my pocket
A hole in my pocket
There's a hole in my pocket
A hole in my pocket
There's a hole in my pocket baby
And it seems to have no bottom at all
