MY LITTLE PONY "SONG"
SEASON 8
SCHOOL OF FRIENDSHIP
[Choir]
The School of Friendship, first day of class
Will we fail or will we pass?
Students come from far and wide
Brand-new friends here by our side
[Twilight Sparkle]
Take a breath, look around, it's amazing
I can't believe that it's real
Students galore, new ideas to explore
Can't contain the excitement I feel
Can't mess up, can't afford a mistake now
Think success, keep it firmly in sight
Make sure to do things by the book
Make sure to do it all right
[Choir]
The School of Friendship, must get to class
Will we fail or will we pass?
Students learning from the best
Taking notes to pass the test
[Twilight Sparkle]
Wait, hold on! Not like that! Just a second!
I'm not sure if that method's approved
Let me take a look – yup, right here in the book
[Rainbow Dash]
Come on! We just got in the groove!
[Twilight Sparkle]
Can't mess up, can't afford a mistake now
We are shaping young minds to ignite
Do it like it says in the book
Now make sure you're doing it right
[Pinkie Pie]
There's not an equation on how to have fun
[Fluttershy]
The students look bored now – oh, what have I done?
[Applejack]
Can't teach bein' honest, not sure what to do
[Rarity]
I'm quite certain I'm lost
[Main cast sans Twilight Sparkle]
None of us has a clue!
[Students]
School of Friendship, another class
Wish it were more of a blast
Thought this school would be more fun
Can't wait for our classes to be done
School of Friendship
[Twilight Sparkle]
Can't mess up, can't afford a mistake now
[Pinkie Pie]
No way to have fun
[Fluttershy]
Oh, what have I done?
[Students]
Bored with this class
[Twilight Sparkle]
Think success, keep it firmly in sight
[Students]
Wish that we could leave our desks
[Rarity]
We don't have a clue
[Students]
Listen to this one request
Make things fun, we're really stressed
[Twilight Sparkle]
Make sure to do things by the book now
[All sans Twilight Sparkle]
Can we tell her this thing is a mess?
FRIENDSHIP ALWAYS WINS
[Twilight Sparkle]
This brand new school of friendship
Is home to everyone
[Ocellus]
We're learning how to trust
[Gallus]
We're here to all have fun
[Rarity]
With friendship ties that bind us
[Applejack]
Tighter than the strongest bonds
[Fluttershy]
We're hoof-in-hoof
[All]
In hand in hoof in wing or even claw
[Twilight Sparkle]
There's a griffon in the garden
[Rainbow Dash]
Hippogriffs hang in the hall
[Spike]
And the door will be open
To all creatures great and small
[Pinkie Pie]
And a yak or two or three
[Yaks]
Sing in perfect harmony
[Starlight Glimmer]
That might have been a changeling
[Fluttershy]
But it kind of looks like me
[All]
This school of friendship is for all of us
A place where we belong
Where we all learn to share and trust
The only rule here is to find your way
And friendship always wins at the end of the day
[Twilight Sparkle]
Some things you just can't teach with books
Some things you only know
So trust your heart and let us lead
And your friendship's sure to grow
[Students] And once we master kindness
We will spread it 'cross this land
[All]
And give the gift that's ours to share
So others understand
This school of friendship is for all of us
A place where we belong
Where we all learn to share and trust
The only rule here is to find your way
And friendship always wins at the end of the day!
YOUR HEART IS IN TWO PLACES
[Apple Bloom]
Your heart is in two places, you can only live in one
You're torn between the hilltops and the tide
[Sweetie Belle]
Thank goodness that the Cutie Mark Crusaders have begun
To give you hope and help you to decide
These hills, they call to you, they say Harmonizing Heights
This is your home, simple and serene
The sun-dappled leaves or a mountain terrace
You can see twenty-three different shades of green
To dare to compare anywhere to there
Is unfair and just plain wrong
Colt or mare or you wear feathers, fins, or hair
This is where you belong
Scootaloo: Well, on the other hoof, I can think of a place that's way more exciting and cool, not to mention more you! Come on, you know exactly where I mean!
Seaquestria's the most, you're supposed to be there
Underneath the sea where you can feel at home
Swimmin' with your friends, you can spend all day here
Playin' in the bay here, splashin' in the foam
Sailin' through the wavy blue
You'll view a slew of tortoises
Forget the rest, the sea's the best
For all intents and porpoises
[Sweetie Belle]
Build your nest here on Harmonizing Heights
[Scootaloo]
Live it up here in Seaquestria
[Sweetie Belle]
Nothing compares to Harmonizing Heights
The eagles are regal
[Scootaloo]
But the schools are cooler
[Sweetie Belle]
Their claws are so awesome
[Scootaloo]
With their sweet maneuvers
[Sweetie Belle]
Star wishes every night
[Scootaloo]
Starfish by eel light
[Sweetie Belle]
Better
[Scootaloo]
Wetter
[Sweetie Belle]
Shinier
[Scootaloo]
Brinier
Seaquestria!
[Sweetie Belle]
Harmonizing Heights!
[Scootaloo]
Seaquestria!
[Sweetie Belle]
Harmonizing Heights!
[Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo]
That's it! This is the end!
Don't ever talk to me again!
FRIENDSHIP U
[Flim]
If you're alone and you can't make friends
We understand your plight
[Flam]
Until now, there was just one way
Your friendships could take flight
[Flim]
There is a school real far away
That'll teach you what to know
But if you live here, you couldn't stay
[Flam]
You'd learn you have to go-o-o-o
Ponies: Awww…
[Flim]
Now, there is an alternative to all of that adversity
[Flam]
Not just a school, I'll have you know
[Flim and Flam]
But a whole university
At Friendship U, our aim is true
In a city, not some backwater
You'll learn the things you need to know
At our new alma mater
Flim: That's it, everypony, you heard correct!
Flam: Friendship U, the one and only university of friendship!
[Flim]
As you can see, we're a success
By any kind of stat
[Twilight Sparkle]
That may be so, for all I know
But I still smell a rat
[Flam]
That other school's headmare
[Flim]
Her presence is a testament
To the mutual respect…
[Flim and Flam]
…we sha-a-a-are
Twilight Sparkle: What?! No, it isn't!
[Flam]
It really is the final piece
To make our work complete
[Flim]
To have the Friendship Princess
Bless our school is such a treat
Flam: We're so honored!
[Flim and Flam]
At Friendship U, we teach to you (and you!)
All of our friendship knowledge
You'll learn it all in half the time
At the one and only friendship college
Twilight Sparkle: How can anypony learn friendship in half the time?
Flam: Our coursework is so accelerated, to take longer would be a crime!
[Flim]
The lessons that we teach have been
Reviewed and checked and edited
[Flam]
Which might explain why our new school's
[Flim and Flam]
About to be accredited
At Friendship U, oh, yes, it's true
Even the Princess of Friendship agrees
The only place in Equestria
To give out friendship degrees
Yeah!
[Ponies]
Friendship U!
Friendship U!
Friendship U!
Flim: That's it, everypony! Let's hear it! Tell us again why it's the best!
[All]
It's the only university of Friendship U!
[Flim and Flam]
Yeah!
WE'RE FRIENDSHIP BOUND
[Starlight Glimmer and Trixie]
We're off on the road to friendship
Our ride might be tiny and small
Starlight Glimmer: Beats walking though, eh, Trix?
Trixie: I am walking.
[Trixie]
But road trips are a great way, we've been told, to get along
[Starlight Glimmer]
I'm glad we're sticking to it, we've already got a song
[Starlight Glimmer and Trixie]
We're off on the road to friendship
Side by side, just like peas in a pod
[Trixie]
Our bond of friendship is stronger than this tour's demands
Hoo'Far: My offer to trade caravans still stands!
Starlight Glimmer: Wait, what did he say?
Trixie: Nothing!
[Starlight Glimmer and Trixie]
We're so tight, we can't move around
I guess we're stuck together 'cause we're friendship bound
Trixie: Sure is great traveling with you, buddy!
Starlight Glimmer: You, too, buddy!
[Starlight Glimmer and Trixie]
We're off on the road to friendship
Trixie: Yes, we are!
[Starlight Glimmer and Trixie]
We've each got the other to blame
[Starlight Glimmer]
Any trip can be exhausting if you make a fuss
[Trixie]
But we get on so well that's there no way that could be us
[Starlight Glimmer and Trixie]
We're off on the road to friendship
And there's nowhere that we'd rather be
Trixie: Was that off-key?
[Starlight Glimmer]
In summer, winter, spring, and fall, we're friends throughout the year
[Trixie]
For untold seasons yet to come, our friendship will be here
Starlight Glimmer: For nine, at least!
[Starlight Glimmer and Trixie]
We're so tight, we can't move around
Trixie: [quickly] Like a race where you tie your hooves together and you have to move in perfect synchronization to win!
[Starlight Glimmer and Trixie]
We're friendship boooooound
Starlight Glimmer: [quickly] Or like a buddy movie where the two protagonists can't get away from each other because they're wearing hoof-cuffs!
[Starlight Glimmer and Trixie]
We're friendship boooooound!
A KIRIN TALE
[Autumn Blaze]
La, la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
The Kirin used to speak and sing
We weren't always quiet
We told stories and funny jokes
My stand-up was a riot
But then one day, a fight broke out
And hurtful words were said
Flaring tempers were inflamed
Destruction quickly spread
And flaming bred from head to head
Even burnt our… bread
Sorry, I forgot how much I love rhyming. Where was I? Oh, right!
My happy village lay in ruins
Relationships got worse
Spoiler alert: we quickly learned
That words could be a curse
No more talking, yelled our leader
The last thing said aloud
Into the Stream of Silence
We stepped as a crowd
The water cooled emotions
And peace was soon restored
But with no way to speak my thoughts
I got super… bored
Seriously, there's only so long that Sudoku can keep you entertained!
'Cause rainbows won't light up the sky
Unless you let it rain
And shiny apples sometimes come with worms
No, you can't give up your laughter
'Cause you're scared of a little pain
It's a lesson that the Kirin never learned
I was stuck in silent prison
With the voices in my head
'Til I tripped over my salvation
In a helpful flowerbed
I found a cure to clear my pipes
And I became quite chatty
With years and years of stored-up words
I drove my village batty
They didn't like my jokes and songs
And daily dose of news
The plays I wrote, the speeches spoke
Variety reviews
Or the story about the Kirin who hid below an opera stage
And fell in love with this opera singer, and he wore a freaky half-mask thing, and he played the organ a lot and got all broody 'cause the singer was in love with another dude, so he took her away on this underground gondola. I mean, who doesn't love musical theater?!
The village leader made it clear
I had to make my choice
I could stay and live with them
Or I could keep my voice
So I came here, but left the couch alone
They're hard to move
With just the view for company
Until ya heard me groove
Take it away, boys!
[beat]
'Cause rainbows won't light up the sky
Unless you let it rain
And candles just won't glow until they're burned
No, you can't give up your laughter
'Cause you're scared of a little pain
It's a lesson that my village never learned
No matter how hard I schooled them
Fear of hurt is still what ruled them
Sometimes you gotta let it raaaaaaaain!
Yeah, sometimes you gotta let it rain
JUST CAN'T BE A DRAGON HERE
Sludge: Spike, I'm gonna teach you a thing or two about being a dragon. So, listen up, my boy, because I'm only gonna say this once.
Look at this castle where you live
Spike: It's pretty sweet, right?
[Sludge]
You can't be a dragon here
Spike: Uh, I can't?
[Sludge]
Look at these books up on the wall
Spike: Hey, I just finished organizing those!
[Sludge]
This treasure pile's not right, I fear
Trust me, I got you covered here. You see all this soft pony stuff you're surrounded with? This has got to be the first thing to go.
Nothin' 'bout this place says dragon den, there's too much fluff
All these fancy robes, toss in a pile
Take those goblets, dishes, is that gold? Still not enough!
De-ponifying might just take a while
Sure, this place is grandiose
But to a dragon, it's just gross
Time we make the lot all disappear
Reality you need a dose
To all these ponies, you're too close
You just can't be a dragon here
Good job, my boy! But this is still just the beginning!
Each and every dragon has a swagger all his own
Watch and I'll show you what I mean
You can't move like this with so much stuff to weigh you down
A dragon always keeps it lean
Lose this! This! Ooh, this is nice!
Your life is soft, your scales are coiffed
These pillows, beds, and sheets are washed
A delight, but it's just not right what's underneath
Every dragon must be free
Look at you, then look at me
Since when do dragons brush their teeth?
Ha! Please!
Sure, this place is grandiose
But to a dragon, it's just gross
Time we make the lot all disappear
Spike: What do I do?
[Sludge]
Just grab it all and give to me
After that, then you'll be free
You just can't be a dragon heeeeere!
Spike: Ha! You're right! I feel better already!
Sludge: See? What did I tell you? You're very lucky that I found you. Now, go get me some more.
Spike: You got it! I'm gonna go get you all the cushy pony stuff I've got… Dad.
Sludge: Great! Go get 'em… son!
'Cause this dragon just can't wait to live here
[sinister laughter]
