Daddy Never Bought Her A Pony

Now Daddy never bought her a pony
The most precious little girl in the world
He bought her everything that money could ever bring
But what she wanted was a pony most of all

Now Daddy done bought her singing lessons
So she could sing like a birdie in a tree
And she sang like a Cockatiel to all the worlds great appeal
But what she wanted was a pony most of all

Now Daddy done bought her dancing lessons
A silk tutu and ruby slippers
And she danced a pirouette the world will never, ever forget
But what she wanted was a pony most of all

Now one day this princess got married
To a handsome and well to do man
And he bought her everything, diamonds, a golden ring
But what she wanted was a pony most of all

Then one day fate it did find her
In a black mourning gown and a veil
And she looked up and pleaded, asking why sheʼd been cheated
When what she wanted was a pony most of all

(spoken)
And then our princess looked up into the sky and she said:
“Big heavenly Daddy, why hast thou forsaken me? when what I wanted was a pony most of all....”

And it was just then that the clouds a-parted and why she couldnʼt believe her eyes! For there must-a been a thousand white ponies up there in the sky!

(Refrain)
Now Daddy never bought her a pony
The most precious little girl in the world
He bought her everything that money could ever bring
But what she wanted was a pony most of all
