Paul Simon - One Trick Pony lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] He 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, One-trick pony [Verse 3] 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) [Chorus] [Outro] One-trick pony, one trick pony [x2] One-trick pony (take me for a ride) One trick pony
