I said hurry up, dig a little pony I know
Say that so
I said hurry up, dig a little pony, we'll blow
Ride, ride, ride

He's blowin' pretty, what a musical treat
Say that so
Look at him, blowin' steady, what a wonderful beat
Ride, ride, ride

Hurry up, hurry up
Do me the ditty up
Hurry up, hurry up
Go wake the city up
Hurry up, hurry up
Once more I wanna repeat

People pass word
He's the last word
That's the mass word
They don't dig 'til he's big, then they wig

Wanna say a lot about a little pony
Wanna celebrate the night the pony booted up the big beat
And by the time he got to cookin' everybody started lookin'

Well I can't stop telling about what he was doin'
To blow as though his heart was in it every minute
Singin' a pretty kind of sound, really givin' every pound
Neve acting like the greatest cat around

Every body dug him and he had 'em really drinking
Like the did a lot of swiggin' from a gallon jug
And then he cooled a while, sentimental style

Later on a little while he had 'em swinging, stompin' the floor
Little pony went a ridin', illustratin' what a horn was for
Had 'em comin' back for more, when they added up the score
It was joy galore!

Been down east, did up the west
Come to find, this little pony's the best
Blow your horn, do up the sound Sing your song, you're really
puttin' it down

Well, a little bit of listenin' with a passable ear
We'll get an awful lot of messages anywhere

Ride, pony ride, Be my wailing guide
Keep on singin', I dig, you're bringin' the word
Go pony, go, put me in the know
Dig me wiggin', that way, you're diggin' I heard

If anybody ever made it out to the coast
They can tell ya what I'm talkin' about
Little pony wailin' on the alto saxophone
Holler giddyup and gallop

Ball, pony, ball, don't be slow at all
Don't bashful, be like you're blowing for me

Gotta get along speedily
Got to get along, and do the coda
It's really the end, you see
Well thanks a lot, but pretty baby I must quit this scene
If you know what I mean

Don't be quittin', just when you're hittin' the peak
Get a record that'll play all week
Could be good bebop, could be!
