"If You Empty Out All Your Pockets You Could Not Make Change" lyrics - MAGGIE & TERRE ROCHE

Before I went to jail
When I was sayin' that I was free
You was lined up down the avenue
Just about as far as I could see
You got one eye on my dungarees
And another on my reviews
And a third one on the waitress
She was straightenin' up the pews

She was passin' around a basket
She was wipin' off the spoon
She was readin' the handwriting on the moon

You call yourself a handyman
You can do anything with your hands
Telling me about your family
Telling me about your plans
Yeah, well I ain't got the belly for this
And you ain't got the brains
And if you emptied out all of your pockets, honey
You could not make the change

She keeps passin' around that basket
You keep droppin' in your dues
Instead of readin' the handwriting on the moon

Mine sure ain't the belly
And I know yours ain't the brains
And if you emptied out all your pockets, honey
You could not make the change
If you emptied out all of your pockets, baby
You could not make the change
