Ween Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mister, would you please help my pony?
He's over there behind the tree
He's down in the dirt, would ya help him?
I think it's his lung

Mister would you please help my pony?
He's chewin' bark and not the leaves
He's cryin' like a baby, would you help him?
I think it's his lung

Mister, would you please help my pony?
He's down and he ain't gettin' up
He coughed up snot in the driveway
And I think his lung's fucked up

Pony, Pony, Pony

Mister, would you please help my pony?
I think it's his lung

Mister, would you please help my pony?
He's over there lookin' at me
He can't talk because he's a pony
I think it's his lung

Mister, would you please help my pony?
He's over there behind the tree
He's down in the dirt, would ya help him?
I think it's his lung

Overall Meaning

The song 'Mister Would You Please Help My Pony?' by Ween is a humorous and twisted tale of a person who pleads with a stranger to help their pony who is sick. The pony is behind the tree, down in the dirt, and it has coughed up snot in the driveway. The person believes it is the pony's lung that is causing it to suffer. The lyrics are simple and repetitive, with the person continuously asking for help for their pony.


The song, on the surface, may seem like a nonsensical tune, but upon closer inspection, it is a biting commentary on the people who exploit animals for their own gain. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is ignorant of the needs of their pet and is unable to take care of it. The pony is chewing bark instead of leaves, crying like a baby, and unable to communicate their pain because they are an animal. The person's inability to take care of their pet suggests that they may have obtained the pony without understanding the responsibility that comes with owning an animal.


The song is a critique of people who take animals for granted and treat them poorly. Despite the absurdity of the lyrics, the message of the song is clear - animals are sentient beings and should be treated with respect and care.
