Lookin’ back on the track for a little greenback
Got to find just the kind for losin’ my minds
Out of sight in the night, out of sight in the day
Lookin’ back on the track, gonna do it my way

Lookin’ back on the track for a little greenback
Got to find just the kind for losin’ my minds
Out of sight in the night, out of sight in the day
Lookin’ back on the track, gonna do it my way
Out of sight in the night, out of sight in the day
Lookin’ back on the track, gonna do it my way
Look in back
Lookin’ for some happiness
But there is only loneliness about
Jump to the left, turn to the right
Lookin’ upstairs, lookin’ behind
Lookin’ for some happiness
But there is only loneliness to find
Jump to the left, turn to the right
Lookin’ upstairs, lookin’ behind
Lookin’ back on the track for a little greenback
Got to find just the kind for losin’ my minds
Out of sight in the night, out of sight in the day
Lookin’ back on the track, gonna do it my way
Lookin’ back on the track for a little, little greenback
Got to find just the kind for losin’ my mind
"Little Green Bag" is a 1969 song written by Dutch musicians Jan Visser and George Baker (born Hans Bouwens), and recorded by the George Baker Selection at the band's own expense. The track was released as the George Baker Selection's debut single by Dutch label Negram, the B-side being "Pretty Little Dreamer".
The track's original title was "Little Greenback",[5] in reference to the color of the US dollar. However, the single was given the erroneous title "Little Green Bag", which some took to be a "bag of marijuana". The lyrics of the song adds to the belief that it's about marijuana, since it describes quite similarly the confusion of trying to find the bag, which is a common thing marijuana smokers experience. The "Little Green Bag" title was then retained for all subsequently released versions of the single, as well as the group's 1970 debut album, also titled Little Green Bag.
