When it's midnight on the meadow
And the cats are in the shed
And the river tells a story

At the window by my bed

If you listen very closely

Be as quiet as you can
In the yard you'll hear him
It is the pony man


We're always there to greet him
When he tumbles in the town

He leads a string of ponies
Some are white and some are brown


And they never seem to kick or bite
They only want to play
And they live on candy apples

Instead of oats and hay

And when we're all $$#embled

He gives a soft command
And we climb aboard our ponies
As in a row they stand


Then down the road we gallop
And across the fields we fly

And soon we all go sailing off
Into the midnight sky


And as we gaily rock along
Beside a rippling sea
There's tom and dick and sally

And mary joe and me

And the pony man is leading

'cause he's traveled here before
And he gives a whoop and a holler
At mr. moons front door


And then we stop to rest a while
Where the soda river glides

Up to the slip comes a pirate ship
To take us for a ride


And the pony man's the captain
And the children are the crew
And we go in search of treasure

And laugh the whole night through

And when the hold is filled with gold

And the sails begin to strain
And the decks piled high with apple pie
We head for port again


And down the whirling star case
So swift our ponies fly

And were safely in our beds again
When the sunbeams kiss the sky


When it's midnight on the meadow
And the cats are in the shed
And the river tells a story

At the window by my bed

If you listen very closely

Be as quiet as you can
In the yard you'll hear him
It is the pony man
