When it's midnight on the meadowAnd the cats are in the shedAnd the river tells a storyAt the window by my bedIf you listen very closelyBe as quiet as you canIn the yard you'll hear himIt is the pony man We're always there to greet himWhen he tumbles into townHe leads a string of poniesSome are white and some are brownAnd they never seem to kick or biteThey only want to playAnd they live on candy applesInstead of oats and hay And when we're all assembledHe gives a soft commandAnd we climb aboard our poniesAs in a row the standThen down the road we gallopAnd across the fields we flyAnd soon we all go sailing offInto the midnight sky SongtexteAnd as we gaily rock alongBeside a ripplin' seaThere's Tom 'n Dick 'n SallyAnd Mary Joe and meAnd the pony man is leadingCause he's travelled here beforeAnd he gives a whoop and a hollerAt Mr. Moon's front door And as we stop to rest a whileWhere the soda river glidesUp to the slip comes a pirate shipTo take us for a rideAnd the pony man's the captainAnd the children are the crewAnd we go in search of treasureAnd laugh the whole night through And when the hold is filled with goldAnd the sails begin to strainAnd the deck's piled high with apple pieWe head for port againAnd down the whirling starcaseSo swift our ponies flyAnd we're safely in our beds againWhen the sunbeams kiss the sky When it's midnight on the meadowAnd the cats are in the shedAnd the river tells a storyAt the window by my bedIf you listen very closelyBe as quiet as you canIn the yard you'll hear himIt is the pony man Aus Songtexte Mania
