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 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 think 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
