Lyrics One-Trick Pony - Paul Simon
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
