Ponytail Boys
© Jennifer Mansfield 1999

Ponytail boys drive me nuts
With the way they walk and their long hair-cuts
Greedy gimme girlie with a birthday full of toys
Is the way I feel about the ponytail boys
The ponytail boys …

Ponytail boys go riding by in cars
Go flying by on skates, go hanging out in bars
Packing it in leather on their Harley’s in a crew
Or making skateboards look like BMW’s
The ponytail boys …

I can see these boys are crazy I can see these boys are poor
But my vision becomes hazy when they walk through the door
My brain turns into batter for my heart to bake a cake
How I slice it does not matter ‘cause I’m always on the make
For the ponytail boys…

Curly brown ponytails flashing in the sun
Or packing up their tools when the working day is done
Silver white ponytails checking out the view
As they saunter down the sidewalk on Greenville Avenue
The ponytail boys

And they drive me nuts, with their long hair cuts
And they’ve got a lot of guts, and some of them have great big beer guts
And I get a bad crush
On the ponytail boys …
