Intro: D  D4  D[5x]

G
She lives on Pony Street
G                                       C
And they should scatter flowers at her feet
    D              C         G  
But when they come calling I think it's appalling
        Am        D        G 
They're sober and they're polite
        D           C          G  
They're deeply respectful when I would expect them
    Am                          D 
To keep her out all night
G
That little martinet
G                    C
Will get her own way yet
   D             C         G       
If you need instruction in mindless destruction
     Am         D        G 
I'll show you a thing or two
    D          C         G                   Am
You used to adore me but now my life flashes before me
    D 
For you to view

   D           A           D            G         Em 
Oh mother, oh mother, sometimes you are so mortifying 
         D             A           D            G                  Em
From the hole in your leopard skin tights I can tell you've been spying
    D         A        D        G             Em
But your generation confesses before it transgresses
      D        A         D       G          Em 
Those Super-8 movies of daddy in your disco dresses

G
If you're going out tonight
C            Am 
I won't wait up
Reading "Das Kapital"
A 
Watching "Home Shopping Club" 
             D
While you're flogging a dead horse 
C       G        D     G
All the way down Pony Street
D              G        D 
Where you live after a fashion
C       G        D     G 
All the way down Pony Street
     D           G                C      
The life and the soul of every indiscretion
Am                             D
That lives on, that lives on, that lives on
C    G/B 
Pony Street

D             A            D            G          Em
Daughter, oh daughter, you know I will love you forever
     D           A            D              G           Em 
But spare me the white ankle socks with the lace and the leather
    F            A       D             G        Em 
For you and your cartoon threat do no good to resist me
    F         A      D              G             Em 
For I am the genuine thing but for you it's just history

How can you be sure
Where you lay your pretty head

All the way down Pony Street

The life and the soul of every indiscretion 
Am              Am
That lives on, That lives on
Am              A             A 
That lives on, That lives on, That lives on
