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 shining 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 thing about

All these extra moves I make

And all 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 thing about

All these extra moves I make

And all 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
