Common Ponies
(to the tune of 'Common People' by Pulp)
She was bought in a supermarket
Not for much, but she had to start out somewhere
So she started there.
A little girl said, "I've got no money."
Her dad laughed, he said "You're so funny,"
He said, "There. Is she rare?"
And the pony thought -
"I'm going to live like common ponies!
I'm going to play like all the common ponies play
I'm going to trade like common ponies!
In a box of custom bait on eBay!"
But the girl didn't care -
She just smiled and combed her hair.
The little girl kept her pony safely
For many years, on a shelf in a beautiful room
But the pony felt gloom(y)
She'd never even seen the sunlight
And she knew that something wasn't quite right
She was mint. And the girl was skint.
So she sang,
"I want to live like common ponies!
I want to play like all the common ponies play
I want to trade like common ponies!
In a box of custom bait on eBay!"
And then one day
She was finally put on eBay.
Now at last she was up for sale
There were buyers going pale
Waiting 'til the time was ripe
To go in and place a snipe
Then they worried it was a scam
That the auction was a sham
For a while, they were upset
Then they went off to forget about her
"I want to live like common ponies!
I want to play like all the common ponies play
I want to trade like common ponies!
In a box of custom bait on eBay!"
Well, she went for the most
And was packed up in the post
Peachy, Bow Tie and Tootsie,
Blossom, Posey, Galaxy
Lemon Drop and Majesty
Applejack, Cotton Candy
Yes, they may not be so rare
Yes, they might have lost their hair
But it means that they've had fun
And been loved by someone - anyone -
"I want to live like common ponies!
I want to play like all the common ponies play
I want to trade like common ponies!
In a box of custom bait on eBay!"
She got out of her pack
Ran away - and never looked back!
Sing along with the common ponies!
Run along and you might become one, too!
Laugh and play with the common ponies!
Cut your mane, write across your forehead in blue
And you'll never go up for trade
And you'll really have it made!
