Intro: D5 D5 D[5x]
G5
She lives on Pony Street
G5 C5
And they should scatter flowers at her feet
D5 C5 G5
But when they come calling I think it's appalling
A5 D5 G5
They're sober and they're polite
D5 C5 G5
They're deeply respectful when I would expect them
A5 D5
To keep her out all night
G5
That little martinet
G5 C5
Will get her own way yet
D5 C5 G5
If you need instruction in mindless destruction
A5 D5 G5
I'll show you a thing or two
D5 C5 G5 A5
You used to adore me but now my life flashes before me
D5
For you to view
D5 A5 D5 G5 E5
Oh mother, oh mother, sometimes you are so mortifying
D5 A5 D5 G5 E5
From the hole in your leopard skin tights I can tell you've been spying
D5 A5 D5 G5 E5
But your generation confesses before it transgresses
D5 A5 D5 G5 E5
Those Super-8 movies of daddy in your disco dresses
G5
If you're going out tonight
C5 A5
I won't wait up
Reading "Das Kapital"
A5
Watching "Home Shopping Club"
D5
While you're flogging a dead horse
C5 G5 D5 G5
All the way down Pony Street
D5 G5 D5
Where you live after a fashion
C5 G5 D5 G5
All the way down Pony Street
D5 G5 C5
The life and the soul of every indiscretion
A5 D5
That lives on, that lives on, that lives on
C5 G5
Pony Street
D5 A5 D5 G5 E5
Daughter, oh daughter, you know I will love you forever
D5 A5 D5 G5 E5
But spare me the white ankle socks with the lace and the leather
F5 A5 D5 G5 E5
For you and your cartoon threat do no good to resist me
F5 A5 D5 G5 E5
For I am the genuine thing but for you it's just history
G5
If you're going out tonight
C5 A5
How can you be sure
Where you lay your pretty head
A5
Mother may have been before
D5
So you're flogging a dead horse
C5 G5 D5 G5
All the way down Pony Street
D5 G5 D5
Where you live after a fashion
C5 G5 D5 G5
All the way down Pony Street
D5 G5 C5
The life and the soul of every indiscretion
A5 A5
That lives on, That lives on
A5 A5 A5
That lives on, That lives on, That lives on
D5 D5 D5

D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5
She lives on, she lives on [2x]
