Lyrics

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
