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
|
