There’s an opossum in a pocket and you really shouldn’t knock it 
Because that opossum is a living large 
She’s just a riding there with her spiked-up hair 
Giving orders and a taking charge 
There’s an opossum in a pocket and you really shouldn’t knock it 
When you see her in her momma’s pouch 
It’s like a limousine looking low and lean 
Like Elvis on a velvet couch 

There’s an opossum in a pocket and you really shouldn’t knock it 
You have to say it’s pretty rad 
And if Hollywood figures out it’s good 
It might even become a fad 
There’s an opossum in a pocket and you really shouldn’t knock it 
She really has a right to brag 
That baby opossum has a pretty good gig 
Hanging out in a fuzzy bag 

Bridge: 
There’s an opossum in a pocket 
Like a diamond in a locket, LET’S ROCK IT! 

There’s an opossum in a pocket and she really likes to rock it 
Yea she really likes living there 
And if someone sneers and says it’s kind of weird 
That little opossum doesn’t seem to care 
There’s an opossum in a pocket and she’s really going to sock it to you 
She’s going to blow your mind 
She’s on easy street yea she’s got life beat 
Living large and a feeling fine
