[Intro]
Ayy, look who walked in
Pocket got a little percussion
[Verse 1]
You caught me checking change by the corner store sign
Quarter after quarter, trying to make the fare line
You said, “What’s that bulge?” with a grin so sly
I said, “Guess the riddle, don’t just guess why”
Got a laundromat fortune and a bus fare stash
A jukebox dream tucked beside my cash
But you leaned in close with that mischievous stare
Now I’m losing count of every coin in there
[Chorus]
Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket
Or are you happy to see me?
Either way, you got me laughing
Come on over, let the mystery be
Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket
Or are you happy to see me?
You got a joke, I got a comeback
Keep that playful energy
[Verse 2]
You talk slick, but your eyes give you away
Turning one little question into a whole cabaret
I got exact change, you got excellent timing
Two comedians at the counter, both of us climbing
No need for a grand speech, no need for a clue
I can tell by the grin that you like what you do
So I tap that pocket like a drummer on a snare
You say, “Don’t make me check”—I say, “Go on, dare”
[Chorus]
Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket
Or are you happy to see me?
Either way, you got me laughing
Come on over, let the mystery be
Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket
Or are you happy to see me?
You got a joke, I got a comeback
Keep that playful energy
[Bridge]
Heads, we flirt
Tails, we tease
Loose change rattling
Put your mind at ease
No hard feelings, no alibis
Just two sharp smiles and curious eyes
[Verse 3]
Now the night bus came, but neither moved an inch
You turned a cheap little riddle to a million-dollar pitch
I said, “Pick a side,” you said, “I like both choices”
That’s when the whole sidewalk heard our voices
So here’s my answer, wrapped up neat
You bring the punchline, I’ll bring the beat
If the pocket’s got coins, let ’em ring, let ’em ring
If it’s something else, don’t say a thing
[Chorus]
Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket
Or are you happy to see me?
Either way, you got me laughing
Come on over, let the mystery be
Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket
Or are you happy to see me?
You got a joke, I got a comeback
Keep that playful energy
[Outro]
Quarter for the jukebox, smile for the scene
Best little riddle that I’ve heard all week
Pocket full of questions, answer coming free
Keep that playful energy
