Yippee!
I’m at the Grand Galloping Galaaaaaa!
It’s all I’ve ever dreamed!
“Songs work really well
in My Little Pony: Friendship is
Magic for different reasons, but they are
all motivated by the characters. I think this is
why it works so well when the show has songs.
The songs can also make the stakes of the
episode that much bigger, and when things
don’t go right, the impact is greater.”

Song: “May the Best Pet Win”
Episode: “May the Best Pet Win!”
Lyrics by Charlotte Fullerton & Kevin Rubio
Music by Daniel Ingram
FLUTTERSHY
Now, Rainbow, my dear,
I cannot express my delight.
It’s abundantly clear
that somewhere out here
is the pet that will suit you just right.
RAINBOW DASH
I can’t wait to get started,
but first let me set a few rules.
It’s of utmost importance
the pet that I get is something
that’s awesome and cool!
FLUTTERSHY
Awesome. Cool. Got it.
I have so many wonderful choices.
Just wait, you will see.
RAINBOW DASH
I need something real fast like a bullet
to keep up with me.
FLUTTERSHY
Sure. How ’bout a bunny?
They’re cutesy and wootsy
and quick as can be.
RAINBOW DASH
Cutesy? Wootsy?
Have you even met me?
FLUTTERSHY
Rainbow, have faith.
You see, I will bet you
somewhere in here is
a pet that will get you.
Come on, the sky’s the limit!
RAINBOW DASH
Sky is good! I’d like it to fly.
FLUTTERSHY
Really? Because I think this
widdle puddy tat has your name
written all over it. Yes, he does.
Aw, look. He likes you!
RAINBOW DASH
Pass.
FLUTTERSHY
I have so many wonderful choices
for you to decide!
There are otters and seals
with massive appeal.
RAINBOW DASH
Otters and seals do not fly.
FLUTTERSHY
Maybe not, but I’ve seen
this particular seal catch ten feet of air
when he breaches the water.
RAINBOW DASH
That’s it. I’m outta here.
FLUTTERSHY
Wait! There must be a pet here
that will fit the ticket.
How about a ladybug?
Or a cute cricket?
RAINBOW DASH
Bigger. And. Cooler.
FLUTTERSHY
Bigger. Cooler. Right.
I’ve got just the thing
in that tree!
Dash, meet your new fabulous pet,
Squirrely!
RAINBOW DASH
It’s just a squirrel.
FLUTTERSHY
Not just any squirrel…
a flying squirrel!
RAINBOW DASH
Yeahhhh, so like I was saying—
Fluttershy, pal,
this won’t cut it.
I need a pet to keep up with me.
Something awesome!
Something flying!
With coolness that defies gravity!
FLUTTERSHY
I’m sensing you want
an animal that can fly.
RAINBOW DASH
Ya think??
FLUTTERSHY
I have plenty of wonderful
creatures who soar in the sky.
Like a sweet hummingbird
or a giant monarch butterfly?
RAINBOW DASH
Better. But cooler!
FLUTTERSHY
I see.
How ’bout an owl?
Or a wasp or a toucan?
There’s so many wonderful creatures
the likes of that.
There are falcons and eagles,
they are both quite regal.
Or perhaps what you need
is a dark and mysterious bat?
RAINBOW DASH
Now you’re talking!
But instead of just one standout,
now that’s too many!
So many choices,
and such riches aplenty!
FLUTTERSHY
Not a bad problem to have,
if you ask me.
RAINBOW DASH
The bat would be awesome!
But the wasp I’m digging, too.
Do you have something
in a yellow-striped bat?
FLUTTERSHY
No. But I’ve got a hot-pink
flamingo just dying to meet you.
RAINBOW DASH
What to do, what to do?
A prize? That’s it!
There’s really just one way
to find out which animal’s best.
Hold a contest of speed, agility, and guts
that will put each pet to the test!
FLUTTERSHY
Don’t forget style.
That should be considered.
RAINBOW DASH
Then I’ll know for sure
who’s best of the litter!
FLUTTERSHY
The one who is awesome-est, cool.
RAINBOW DASH
Just like me!
Can’t settle for less
’cause I’m the best!
RAINBOW DASH AND FLUTTERSHY
So a contest we will seeeeeeee…
RAINBOW DASH
who’s the number one, greatest,
perfect-est pet in the world for me!
RAINBOW DASH AND FLUTTERSHY
May the games begin!
RAINBOW DASH
And may the best pet win.

Lyrics by Meghan McCarthy
Music by Daniel Ingram
RARITY
I’ll be the toast of the town,
the girl on the go.
I’m the type of pony everypony,
everypony should know.…
I’ll be the one to watch,
the girl in the flow.
I’m the type of pony everypony,
everypony should know.…
Becoming as popular as popular can be.
Making my mark, making my mark
in high society.
I’m the belle of the ball,
the star of the show.
Yeah, I’m the type of pony everypony,
everypony should know.
See how they hang on every word
that I speak.
My approving glance is what they all seek.
I’m the crème de la crème,
not just another Jane Doe.
I’m the type of pony everypony,
everypony should know.
At home, at the opera, on a fancy yacht
becoming the talk,
the talk of all of Canterlot.
I’m the crème de la crème,
not just another Jane Doe.
Yeah, I’m the type of pony everypony,
everypony should know.
Because…I’m the type of pony,
yes, I’m the type of pony,
yes, I’m the type of pony
everypony should know.…

EVERYPONY
The Fire of Friendship lives in our hearts.
As long as it burns we cannot drift apart.
Though quarrels arise,
their numbers are few.
Laughter and singing will see us through.
We are a circle of pony friends...
a circle of friends we’ll be
to the very end.

Song: “Flim Flam Cider Song”

Squeezy 6000”
Lyrics by Mitch Larson & Daniel Ingram
Music by Daniel Ingram
FLIM
Well, lookie what we got here,
brother of mine.
It’s the same in every town.
Ponies with thirsty throats, dry tongues,
and not a drop of cider to be found.
Maybe they’re not aware that there’s
really no need for this teary despair.
FLAM
That the key that they need to solve this
sad cider shortage you and I will share.
FLIM AND FLAM
Well, you got opportunity
in this very community!
He’s Flim—
he’s Flam. We’re the world-famous
Flim Flam brothers, traveling salesponies
nonpareil!
PINKIE PIE
Nonpa-what?
FLIM
Nonpareil! And that’s exactly
the reason why, you see—
Nopony else in this whole place
will give you such a chance to be where
you need to be.
And that’s a new world with tons of cider,
fresh-squeezed and ready for drinking.
FLAM
More cider than you could drink in all
your days of thinking!
RAINBOW DASH
I doubt that—
FLIM AND FLAM
So take this opportunity in this very
community!
FLAM
He’s Flim—
FLIM
he’s Flam. We’re the world-famous
Flim Flam brothers, traveling salesponies
nonpareil!
FLIM
I suppose by now you’re wondering
about our peculiar mode of transport.
FLAM
I say, our mode of locomotion.
FLIM
And I suppose by now you’re wondering,
where is this promised cider?
FLAM
Anyhorse can make a claim
and anypony can do the same.
FLIM
But my brother and I have something
most unique and superb,
unseen at any time in this big, new world.
FLIM AND FLAM
And that’s opportunity!
FLIM
Folks, it’s the one and only—
the biggest and the best—
FLAM
the unbelievable—
FLIM
unimpeachable—
FLAM
indispensable—
FLIM
I-can’t-believe–able—
FLIM AND FLAM
Flim Flam brothers Super Speedy
Cider Squeezy 6000!
“I have a soft spot for the
Flim Flam brothers’ song. It was just so
much fun to write—both because of its unique patter-
like quality and because of what the brothers are trying
to accomplish with the song: They want to mesmerize
Ponyville. And it’s catchy as heck.”
— Mitch Larson, writer
FLAM
Whattaya say, sister?
PONIES
Oh, we got opportunity
in this very community!
Please, Flim, please, Flam,
help us outta this jam
with your Flim Flam brothers
Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000!
FLIM
Young filly, I would be ever so honored if
you might see fit to let my brother
and I borrow some of your delicious—
and might I add spellbindingly fragrant—
apples for our little demonstration here?
APPLEJACK
Uh…sure, I guess.
PONIES
Opportunity!
In our community!
FLAM
Ready, Flim?
FLIM
Ready, Flam!
FLAM
Let’s bing, bang, zam
and show these thirsty ponies
a world of delectable cider!

FLIM
Watch closely, my friends—
FLAM
the fun begins!
FLIM
Now here’s where the magic happens,
right here, in this heaving,
roiling cider press coiling
guts of the very machine.
Those apples plucked fresh
are right now as we speak
being turned into grade A, top-notch,
five-star, blow-your-horseshoes-off,
one-of-a-kind cider.
FLIM
Feel free to take a sneak peek.
GRANNY SMITH
Now wait, you fellers, hold it!
You went and oversold it.
I guarantee that what you have there
won’t compare,
for the very most important ingredient
can’t be added or done expedient,
and that’s quality, friends,
Apple Acres’ quality and care!
FLIM
Well, Granny, I’m glad you brought that
up, my dear.
I say, I’m glad you brought that up.
You see that we are very picky when it
comes to cider, if you’ll kindly try a cup.…
FLAM
Yes, sir, yes, ma’am, this great machine
lets just the very best.…
So whattaya say, then, Apples?
Care to step into the modern world and
put the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000
to the test?
PONIES
Cider…cider…cider…cider…
FLIM
Whattaya think, folks?
Do you see what the Apples can’t?
I see it clear as day! I know she does!
So does he! Come on, Ponyville,
you know what I’m talking about!
FLIM AND FLAM
We’re saying you’ve got opportunity
in this very community!
He’s Flim, he’s Flam.
We’re the world-famous

Song: “The Perfect Stallion”
Episode: “Hearts and Hooves Day”
Lyrics by Meghan McCarthy
Music by Daniel Ingram
SWEETIE BELLE
Cheerilee is sweet and kind.
She’s the best teacher we could hope for.
The perfect stallion you and I must find,
one to really make her heart soar.
But this one’s too young,
this one’s too old—
he clearly has a terrible cold.
SICKLY PONY
Aah-choo.
APPLE BLOOM
This guy’s too silly.
He’s way too uptight.
UPPITY PONY
I say!
SWEETIE BELLE
Well, nothing’s wrong with this one.
He seems all right.
SCOOTALOO
His girlfriend sure thinks so.
SWEETIE BELLE
How ’bout this one?
APPLE BLOOM
He’s much too flashy.
SCOOTALOO
He might do.
APPLE BLOOM AND SWEETIE BELLE
If he weren’t so splashy.
APPLE BLOOM
Too short.
SWEETIE BELLE
Too tall.
APPLE BLOOM
Too clean.
SCOOTALOO
Too smelly.
SWEETIE BELLE
Too strangely obsessed with tubs of jelly.
APPLE BLOOM
I don’t think that we’re mistaken.
It seems all the good ones are taken.
SWEETIE BELLE
I really feel that at this rate,
we’ll never find the perfect date.
Don’t want to quit and give up hope…
SCOOTALOO
Doing anything special for
Hearts and Hooves Day?
SWEETIE BELLE
Oh please, oh please, oh please say…
BIG MCINTOSH
nope.
SWEETIE BELLE
We did it, girls, we’ve found the one
who will send our teacher’s heart aflutter.
