What Makes a Pony a Pony

"What Makes a Pony a Pony" is a song from the My Friends Tigger & Pooh story "Darby's Pony." In the episode, Darby expresses an apparent desire to have a pony, so Winnie the Pooh and Tigger decide to try to turn Eeyore into a pony in order to surprise her and sing this song about it. They soon discover, however, that there's more to it than they thought.

Lyrics

Pooh:
What makes a pony a pony?

Tigger:
Well, it's go to have some pony shoes

Pooh:
What makes a pony a pony?

Tigger:
A bow to match his baby blues

Pooh:
What makes a pony a pony?

Tigger:
It needs to be watered and brushed

Pooh and Tigger:
Just watch him clop around
And do the pony trot
He started out a donkey
But now he's not

He's pony to the bone-y
And I'll tell you that's what
What makes a pony a pony
What makes a pony a pony.
