Dig A Pony Lyrics



Lennon/McCartney


I dig a pony
Well you can celebrate anything you want
Well you can celebrate anything you want
Ooh.
I do a road hog
Well you can penetrate any place you go
Yes you can penetrate any place you go
I told you, all I want is you.
Ev'rything has got to bejust like you want it to
Because--

I pick a moon dog
Well you can radiate ev'rything you are
Yes you can radiate ev'rything you are--
Ooh.
I roll a stoney
Well you can imitate ev'ryone you know
Yes you can imitate ev'ryone you know
I told you, all I want is you.
Ev'rything has got to bejust like you want it to
Because--

I feel the wind blow
Well you can indicate ev'rything you see
Yes you can indicate ev'rything you see--
Ooh.
I dug a pony
Well you can syndicate any boat you row
Yes you can syndicate any boat you row
I told you, all I want is you.
Ev'rything has got to bejust like you want it to
Because--

"Yeah, Ok"
Count in, "Ah 1 2 3 4" [1]

[1] I know the song is in 3/4 time. This is not a mistake! The 'fourth' beat is the downbeat of the next bar, coinciding with the bass note, and the "it".
2:10 * NEW *
Paul's voice cracks on high harmony, "Be-c .. ooh!"
3:45-3:53 * NEW *
John says: "Thank You, Brothers. Me hands getting er.. too cold to play the chords."
The Beatles recorded this on the Apple Records rooftop. It appears in rooftop sequence of the movie Let It Be.
The false start was caused by Ringo caught mopping his brow.
This was one of John's only contributions to Let It Be. He was very depressed at the time and he and Yoko were both using heroin. They kicked their habit several months later with a "Scream Therapy" method. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)
Lennon wrote this as 2 songs: "All I Want Is You" and "Dig a Pony."
Lennon: "Another piece of garbage."
Producer Phil Spector cut out 2 lines for the album version. The unedited version is in the movie.
