OneTrick Pony — текст песни (Paul Simon)

Hes a one trick pony

One trick is all that horse can do

He does one trick only

Its 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

Hes just a one trick pony (thats all he is)

But he turns that trick with pride



He makes it look so easy

He looks so clean

He moves like gods

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



Hes a one trick pony

He either fails or he succeeds

He gives his testimony

Then he relaxes in the weeds

Hes got one trick to last a lifetime

But thats all a pony needs

(thats all he needs)

He looks so easy

He looks so clean

He moves like gods

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
