"One Horse Pony"

I'm a one horse pony my name is Joe
God surely loves me because he knows I'm slow
My wife's a "Doctor" but she don't know
Can anyone show me which way to go

Joe! the swamp you seek is just ahead
We all know you're not much well read
Why don't you go on back to bed
And let that just be said.
