“Now when I was a little boy  
At the age of five.  
I had somethin’ in my pocket  
keep a lot of folks alive.”

Of course, from the legend Bo Diddley tune.

What could he have had in his pocketses that would fit that description? My bet is a can of that pepper spray that wards off grizzly bears. 😃

If it had been Chuck Berry, we could assume it was his Ding-a-Ling.  
My guess was a Mark VII MacGuffin.
