Pony Takes A Powder - Mojo Juju

Pony got caught in a bad, bad scene

Couldn’t tell life from a joke or a dream

He’s been wrapped on the knuckles and thrown in the clink

Now he’s hot wired the car that’s gonna drive him to drink

Charlie took up on the invitation

Spent the rent on a fast education

He used to be straight like the crease in his pants

But boy, oh boy, how the girl could dance

Thin as a razor, sharp as a suit

Straight to the point, baby, don’t get cute

'Cause the rats run wild underneath the streets

And God plays dice while the fat cats feast

The cops bust in on Charlie’s hood

Pony been well, but he ain’t no good

He huffed and he puffed and he pulled out a gun

He blew the pig down, and he went on the run

Now Pony’s a fugitive, Charlie’s a drunk

Life in a bottle or out of a trunk

Something’s gone missing, and it ain’t just the dough

Pack up the dodge baby, we gots to go

Thin as a razor, sharp as a suit

Straight to the point, baby, don’t get cute

'Cause the rats run wild underneath the streets

And God plays dice while the fat cats feast

Pony, what you doin' with that gun for man?

Well, that’s none of your business!

I heard it was everyone’s business…

Now, if it’s a girl, or a car, or money…

Or a girl in a car with money…

It ain’t worth it man

They’ll put you away for life

Changin' his outfit

Changin' his hair

He’s got change in his pockets

And plenty to spare

Holdin' his breath till he runs outta air

The cops keep lookin' but Pony ain’t there…
