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
