Pony St. |
| She lives on pony street |
| And they should scatter flowers at her feet |
| But when they come calling I think it’s appalling |
| They’re sober and they’re polite |
| They’re deeply respectful when I would expect them |
| To keep her out all night |
| That little martinet |
| Will get her own way yet |
| If you need instruction in mindless destruction |
| I’ll show you a thing or two |
| You used to adore me but now my life flashes before me |
| For you to view |
| Oh mother, oh mother, sometimes you are so mortifying |
| From the hole in your leopard skin tights I can tell you’ve been spying |
| But your generation confesses before it transgresses |
| Those super-8 movies of daddy in your disco dresses |
| If you’re going out tonight |
| I won’t wait up |
| Reading «das kapital» |
| Watching «home shopping club» |
| While you’re flogging a dead horse |
| All the way down pony street |
| Where you live after a fashion |
| All the way down pony street |
| The life and the soul of every indiscretion |
| That lives on, that lives on, that lives on |
| Pony street |
| Daughter, oh daughter, you know I will love you forever |
| But spare me the white ankle socks with the lace and the leather |
| For you and your cartoon threat do no good to resist me |
| For I am the genuine thing but for you it’s just history |
| If you’re going out tonight |
| How can you be sure |
| Where you lay your pretty head |
| Mother may have been before |
| So you’re flogging a dead horse |
| All the way down pony street |
| Where you live after a fashion |
| All the way down pony street |
| The life and the soul of every indiscretion |
| That lives on |
| She lives on pony street |
| She lives on, she lives on |
