Still drinking on the corner 
Just don't say I didn't warn you 
Always nagging big brother 
He's only looking out for you 

Tony the pony 
Tony the pony 

You're still standing on the corner 
Just don't say I didn't warn you 
Old and jealous big brother 
You had your time and you spent it 
Crying 

Now, Tony the pony 
Tony the pony 
So, that's what they call you now? 
When you're free outside 
So cold and hard and in control 
And... 
There's a free ride on 
Tony the pony 

Oh, why do you always want to stop me 
From doing the things in life that make me happy? 
And when I'm outside with friends, laughing loudly 
Why do you always want to stop me? 

Oh, I would never 
I would never 

But you will carry the can for anyone 
The free ride on 
Gullible Tony 

You're drunker quicker 
And you're sicker even quicker 
For something heavy is gonna fall on you 
Oh... 

And what do they call you now? 
When you're free outside 
So cold and hard and in control 
And, oh...been a lark 
There's a free ride on 
Fucked-up Tony 

I will never say I told you so 
Or how I knew that something bad 
Would happen to you 
I don't want to say I told you so 
Oh, but Tony, I told you so!!! 
I told you so
