Now colts and fillies of every pony kind Here's a song about you from your front to your hind Hairy, coaty, muscley, and boney, These are the parts of the pony!
Now the poll is the name for the top of the head Where the forelock grows, and then it's said That the mane down the neck is known as the crest But we'll finish off the head before we start with the rest
Well your ears they heard that your eyes, they saw That a pony's got a nose and a muzzle and a jaw Between them's a mouth that'll laugh and speak And smile real wide from cheek to cheek
Now the mouth is a tool that can pick things up And eat off a plate or drink from a cup And the forehead's hard and protects your brain Which connects to the spine which is underneath the mane!
Now a unicorn's head has a special horn And it's made of stuff called alicorn Cast magical spells that you've studied and read And those are the parts of the head!
Next let's slide right down your spine To the parts on the back of all ponykind There's the withers and the back and the loin and the hip And the croup and the dock and the tail you can whip
Now still on the back of pegasi There are two special things that'll help you fly With bones and joints and feathers and things, These are the parts of the wings
The feathers on the end that pick up air Are the most important, so take care Of the ones on the top that are called the primaries Then on the bottom are your secondaries
Now if your wings are open and wide You'll see some feathers tucked inside They help catch air and they're not overt They're your primary and secondary coverts
Now the lesser coverts still catch breeze And your wingpit feathers are your axillaries To fold the wings bend at two points And those are the margin and the carpal joints
Now back to the throat which goes to the chest Which goes to the barrel where the stomach digests There's a liver and a heart and a lung or two And the ribcage keeps them safe for you
Into the body, there extends The shoulder and the arm it bends From high up there we'll go down low There's the upper arm and the elbow!
Next are the forearm and the knee And the fetlock and I do decree This anatomy song we're almost done We'll do the hind legs and have some fun
The leg's got the hoof and the coronet That connects to the pastern and I'd bet That the ankle's flexible and goes to the cannon These are important, if you're standin'
Next goin' up we've got the hock It bends up the leg so a pony can walk We started with the bottom and we're going up high There's the gaskin and the quarter and the stifle and the thigh
There's the flank on the side and the haunch near the top And there's one last part before we stop When your special talent shines in the dark You can show it to the world with your cutie mark!
The parts of the pony are so cool So keep in shape and stay in school And strong and smart you'll surely be, Those are the parts of the pony!
