He's a one trick pony
One trick is all that horse can do
he does one trick only

It's the principal source of his revenue
And when he steps into the spotlight
You can feel the heat of his heart

Come rising through

See how he dances

See how he loops from side to side
See how he prances
The way his hooves just seem to glide

He's just a one trick pony (that's all he is)
But he turns that trick with pride


He makes it look so easy
He looks so clean
He moves like God's

Immaculate machine
He makes me think about
All of these extra movements I make

And all of this herky-jerky motion
And the bag of tricks it takes
To get me through my working day

One-trick pony

He's a one trick pony

He either fails or he succeeds
He gives his testimony
Then he relaxes in the weeds

He's got one trick to last a lifetime
But that's all a pony needs
(that's all he needs)

He looks so easy
He looks so clean
He moves like God's

Immaculate machine
He makes me think about
All of these extra movements I make

And all of this herky-jerky motion
And the bag of tricks it takes
To get me through my working day


One-trick pony, one trick pony
One-trick pony, one trick pony

One-trick pony (take me for a ride)
One trick pony
