Book Store Lyrics by Steven Wright

I Have a Pony

0

Friday, I was in a bookstore. I started talking to this very French-looking girl. She was a bilingual illiterate. She couldn't read in two different languages.

---

I left the store and I went down the street to my bus. My bus came and I got on. I sat down beside this beautiful, blonde Chinese girl.

I said, "Hello," and she said "Hello," and I said, "Isn't it an amazing day?" and she said, "Yes, it is, I guess."

I said, "What do you mean, 'you guess'?"

She said, "Well, things haven't been going too well for me lately."

And I said, "Like what?"

She said, "I can't tell you. I don't even know you."

I said, "Yeah, but sometimes it's good to tell your problems to an absolute total stranger on a bus."

She said, "Well, I've just come back from my analyst and he's still unable to help me."

And I said, "What's the problem?"

And she paused and said, "I'm a nymphomaniac and I only get turned on by Jewish cowboys."

Then she said, "By the way, my name's Diane."

And I said, "Hello, Diane. I'm Bucky Goldstein."
