Pony with a Problem

This song’s about a pony with a problem
He doesn’t like kids who pull on his mane
He doesn’t like kids, he thinks they’re a pain
This song’s about a pony with a problem

He can’t stand grass he doesn’t like the sun
He doesn’t like kids who like to have fun
This song’s about a pony with a problem

There’s a terrible secret that nobody knows
A terrible secret in one of his toes
In his back left hoof there’s a sharp little splinter
It’s been driving him crazy, it’s been there since last winter
So he snorts and he stomps and he kicks up lots of dust
Though no one understands why he makes such a fuss

He doesn’t like hay he doesn’t like oats
All he wants is eggs and toast
This song’s about a pony with a problem

He wants to go to Spain, he wants to go to France
He wants to sing and dance in his underpants
This song’s about a pony with a problem

One sunny spring day in the middle of May
A field mouse named Marvin was making his way
He wore black plastic glasses to help him to see
And when he saw the splinter, he thought it was cheese
He ate spinter-cheese, he ate it with glee
And our friend the pony was finally free

This song’s about a pony without a problem
He loves when kids shout and pull on his mane
He says, “that was fun, please do it again”
This song’s about a pony with no problems
