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