Paul Simon — One-Trick Pony lyrics

Lyrics

HeЂ™s a one trick pony
One trick is all that horse can do He does one trick only
ItЂ™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
HeЂ™s just a one trick pony (thatЂ™s all he is)
But he turns that trick with pride
He makes it look so easy
He looks so clean
He moves like godЂ™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
HeЂ™s a one trick pony
He either fails or he succeeds
He gives his testimony
Then he relaxes in the weeds
HeЂ™s got one trick to last a lifetime
But thatЂ™s all a pony needs
(thatЂ™s all he needs)
He looks so easy
He looks so clean
He moves like godЂ™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 ponyone trick pony
One-trick ponyone trick pony
One-trick pony (take me for a ride)
One trick pony
