Little Green Bag Lyrics
Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag,
Got to find just the kind or I'm losin' my mind 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. Lookin' back Lookin' for some happiness But there is only loneliness to find Jump to the left, turn to the right Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind, yeah! 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 green bag, Got to find just the kind or I'm losin' my mind 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 green bag, Got to find just the kind or I'm losin' my mind, Alright. Lookin' for some happiness But there is only loneliness to find Jump to the left, turn to the right Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind. Pa pa pa pa pa pa .... |

The guy is singing to a green bag to help him cope with his loneliness, in the search, looking back on a track, being jumpy (as if being followed, doing something illegal). Add the hippie era context and it makes perfect sense.
It's a great song, specially for its now unseparable relation to Reservoir Dogs, such a great yet simple movie.
But, on a couple of side notes, I have to add that here, in my country (Chile) this song was used for an advertising campaign for a realy mediocre TV soap opera, copying the whole Reservoir Dogs walking-titles begining... Machos (Studs) ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374415/#comment ), and 'till this day I'm still fighting my mind from jumping to that shocking memories whenever I hear it. I find myself repeating "Tarantino, Tarantino, Tarantino..."
And the other side note, an anecdote. The first time I heard this song I swear I thought it was a latin excuse for a singer ( Luis Miguel ) doing some english, actually good song... I was almost killed by my friend when I commented her that this guy was doing his first interesting tune. After that, we looked for some happines and went Pa pa pa pa pa pa ....

"Uh-uh, I don't tip"
"You don't tip? "
"Nah, I don't believe in it."
"You don't believe in tipping?"
"You know what these chicks make? They make sh*t"
"Don't give me that. She don't make enough money that she can quit"
"I don't even know a f*cking Jew who'd have the balls to say that. Let me get this straight: you don't ever tip?"
"I don't tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I'll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job"
"Hey, our girl was nice"
'She was okay. She wasn't anything special"
"What's special? Take you in the back and suck your d*ck?"
"I'd go over twelve percent for that"

I believe the line is "Are you gonna bark all day little doggy?" hence the use of "bark". I don't know what bunnies you have seen in your time.

Actually Tarantino was originally planning on using "Money" by Pink Floyd, but one day when he was in his car he heard "Little Green Bag" and knew right away that it would be perfect. Pretty cool story!

i first heard the song when i was a wee lad on one or two of those compilation albums (goofy greats or funky favorites?). imagine my delight when i first saw reservoir dogs and that was on the opening track. if the song is about looking for a bag of pot, then it doesn't match the theme of the movie because the plot revolves around a botched jewel heist. The jewels, would very likely be stored in, yep you guessed it, a little green bag. (Note: I don't remember a single reference to marijuana in the film.)

I don't see it having anything to do with Reservoir Dogs, other than it being a great tune to open a movie with.

If the narration about "looking back on the track," and "for a little green bag," are broken down, Baker is kind of forlorn that he is on the heroin track, because what he would really prefer is just some weed but he has to get a fix. Track would be "track marks." ---Now, consider the symbolism of the black & white video of the dark haired beauty riding side-saddle, and sauntering by on a white stallion. then connect this symbolism; Heroin has been described as a seductive lady, and heroin has always been called Horse to symbolize its raw power and how it can runaway with you on its back. Baker wants off he would have preferred all along to have had that little green bag of weed.
He tells us what he experiences with heroin just read this stanza; Lookin' for some happiness
But there is only loneliness to find, Jump to the left, turn to the right Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind, yeah! He says that he wants happiness, but that these trips he takes while on heroin have caused him to loose his way, he is unsettled it is quite obvious "there is only loneliness to find, Jump to the left, turn to the right lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind, Yeah!" He is looking over his shoulder unable to trust anyone to include himself, this man is very clearly suffering a terrifying continuous paranoia.
If, he doesn't get off of the Horse, 'Heroin' he is going to lose his mind, he has to find that little green bag..
Perhaps the attraction Tarantino had to George Baker's great song "Little Green Bag" as it relates to Resevoir Dogs, maybe that a huge multi-million dollar diamond heist would be the magic elixir that cures these hard-luck guy's who led a life of crime, and that this is really all that they wanted from their first day as an adult looking for a job was to find some way to make a fortune so they could quit the hustle associated with criminal activity... And, of course it doesn't work out for the boys in the movie, just as it doesn't workout for George in the song.
