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 [5x]
  She lives on Pony Street [2x]
  She lives on, she lives on [2x]
