“Pony”出自Kasey Chambers第三张专辑“Wayward angel”(《任性天使》)。在这张专辑里,一度走在乡村乐和摇滚乐交接点的kasey,音乐路逐渐拓宽并呈多元化趋势。专辑中,高音危危欲坠的“荆棘鸟”不见了,Kasey开始朝舒缓和流行化发展,而她对节奏、对鼓点的把握似乎也比以前沉稳许多。
“Pony”以一个小孩的视角,描绘了只有小女孩才会做的爱情梦:“拥有漂亮的‘小矮马’或可爱的‘小宝宝’、做自由自在的‘牛仔’或端庄贤惠的‘淑女’”——这都是女孩子托腮做白日梦时对未来的美好期盼,但无论做什么梦,都离不开最真、最痴、最纯、最可爱的梦——我那一天会不会成为你的新娘? Lyrics
When I grow up I want a pony I'm gonna ride her from dust til dawn I'm gonna brush her mane

Pony | And feed her sugar cane And keep her in safe from the storm
If I had a pony I wonder could I be your girl
When I grow up I want a baby I'm gonna name it after Ralph Stanley And I sure won't mind if it cries all night Just as long as it looks like me
If I had a baby I wonder could I be your girl
Yodelay he yodeloh oh You rock my world Yodelay he yodeloh When I grow up I wanna be your girl
When I grow up I want a cowboy With dust all over his jeans With a horse named Jack And a ten-gallon hat He is nice but looks so mean
If you were a cowboy I wonder could I be your girl

ten-gallon hat | Yodelay he yodeloh oh You rock my world Yodelay he yodeloh When I grow up I wanna be your girl
When I grow up I'll be a lady All my rings will be made of gold I'll put flowers in my room I'll wear perfume I won't listen to rock n roll
If I was a lady I wonder could I be your girl
Yodelay he yodeloh oh You rock my world Yodelay he yodeloh When I grow up I wanna be your girl
When I grow up I want a pony When I grow up I want a baby When I grow up I want a cowboy When I grow up I'll be a lady
