New Pony Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I had a pony, her name was Lucifer (How much longer? How much longer?)
I had a pony, her name was Lucifer (How much longer?)
She broke her leg and needed shooting
I swear it hurt me more than it coulda hurted her

(How much longer? How much longer?)

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I wonder what’s going on with Miss X (How much longer?)
Sometimes I wonder what’s going on with Miss X
(How much? How much? How much longer?)
She got such a sweet disposition
I never know what the poor girl’s gonna do to me next
(How much longer? How much longer?)

[Verse 3]
I got a new pony, she knows how to fox-trot, lope and pace
(How much longer?)
Well, I got a new pony, she knows how to fox-trot, lope and pace
(How much longer?)
She got great big hind legs
Long, black shaggy hair hangin' in her face

(How much? How much? How much longer?)

[Guitar solo]
(How much? How much? How much longer?)
[Verse 4]
Everybody says you’re using voodoo, I've seen your feet walk by themselves
(How much? How much? How much longer?) Oh well
Everybody says you’re using’ voodoo, I've seen your feet walk by themselves
(How much? How much? How much longer?)
Oh baby, that god you been prayin' to
Gonna give you back what you wishin' on someone else
(How much? How much longer?)

[Verse 5]
Come over here pony, I want to climb up on top on you
(How much longer?) Well
Come over here pony, I wanna climb up one time on you
(How much longer?)
You're oh so nasty and so bad
But I swear I love you, yes I do
(How much? How much? How much longer?)

(How much? How much? How much longer?)
(How much? How much? How much longer?)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
