- Hey! Hey! Hey!
- Hey! Hey! Hey!
- See the ponies trottin' down the street

- Go-go music really makes us dance
- Do the pony, puts us in a trance
- Do the watusi, just give us a chance
- That's when we fall in line
- 'Cause we got the beat

- Yeah, we got it!
- Hey! Hey! Hey!

- Yeah, ponies got the beat
- Yeah, we got the beat
- We got the beat
- Ponies got the beat
