One - Trick Pony Lyrics - 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
