He's a one-trick pony

One trick is all that horse can do
            D7
He does one trick only
D7                                                | Am7 | % |
It's the principle source of his revenue
                      G                      D/F#
And when he steps into the spotlight
              F                              Bm7b5
You can feel the heat of his heart
            E7        [ Am7 ]
Come rising through

[Verse]
Am7
See how he dances
Am7                                          | Am7 | % |
See how he loops from side to side
D7
See how he prances
D7                                               | Am7 | % |
The way his hooves just seem to glide
         G                        D/F#

He makes it look so easy, he looks so clean

He moves like God's immaculate machine
                     C/G
He makes me think about
                    E7/G#
All of these extra moves I make
                    Am
And all this herky-jerky motion
              C/Bb
And the bag of tricks it takes
      F                                              Bb9
To get me through my working day

One-trick pony

He either fails or he succeeds

He gives his testimony
D7                                | Am7 | % |
Then he relaxes in the weeds
                     G                     D/F#
He's got one trick to last a lifetime
