Sung in Season 1 Episode 1: "Friendship is Magic Part 1"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Twilight Sparkle]
Canterlot, it's a quiet village
Every day like the one before
Little town, full of little ponies
Waking up to say...

[Featured Male Soloist #1]
Bonjour!

[FMS #2]
Bonjour!

[Featured Female Soloist #1]
Bonjour!

[FMS #3]
Bonjour!

[FFS #2]
Bonjour!

[Twilight Sparkle]
There goes the baker with his tray like always
The same old bread and rolls to sell
Every morning just the same since the morning that I came
To this poor provincial town...

[Canterlot Baker]
Good morning, Twilight!

[Twilight Sparkle]
Good morning, Monsieur.

[Baker]
Where are you off to?

[Twilight Sparkle]
Back to the library. I have to find out what the Elements of Har--

[Baker]
That's nice.

(Yelling to offscreen)

Marie! The baguettes! Hurry up!

[Lemon Hearts, Twinkleshine, Minuette]
Look there she goes that mare is strange, no question
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?

[Lemon Hearts]
Never part of any crowd

[Twinkleshine]
'Cos her head's up on some cloud

[Canterlot Snobs]
No denying, she's a funny mare, Twilight

[FMS #4]
Bonjour!

[FFS #1]
Good day!

[FMS #4]
How is your family?

[FFS #2]
Bonjour!

[FMS #3]
Good day!

[FFS #2]
How is your wife?

[FFS #3]
I need six eggs!

[FMS #5]
That's too expensive!

[Twilight Sparkle]
There must be more than this provincial life!

(She walks into the library)

[Twilight Sparkle]
Spike! Spike!

(She notices Spike on the floor)

Spike? There you are! Quick! Find me that old copy of Predictions and Prophecies!

(She notices a box on Spike's tail)

What's that for?

[Spike]
Well, it was a gift for Moondancer, but...

[Twilight Sparkle]
Oh, Spike! You know we don't have time for that!

[Spike]
But we're on a break!

(Twilight tries to find the book)

[Twilight Sparkle]
No, no, no, no, no, no! Ugh! Spike!

[Spike]
It's over here!

(Twilight grabs the book from him and looks through it)

[Twilight Sparkle]
Aha! Elements of Harmony! See Mare in the Moon?

[Spike]
Mare in the Moon? But that's just an old pony's tale!

(Twilight doesn't listen and looks for the page)

[Twilight Sparkle]
Aha! Mare in the Moon! Myth from olden pony times. A powerful pony that wanted to rule Equestria, defeated by the Elements of Harmony and imprisoned in the moon.

(She reads the page as they both walk out of the library.)

Legend has it that on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape and she will bring about nighttime eternal! Spike! Do you know what this means?

[Spike]
No...

[Group of Colts]
Look there she goes, that mare is so peculiar
I wonder if she's feeling well?

[Group of Mares]
With a dreamy, far off look

[Group of Colts]
And her nose stuck in a book

[Canterlot Snobs]
What a puzzle to the rest of us, Twilight

[Twilight Sparkle]
Spike, take a note to the princess
We are all in danger 'cos, you'll see
Nightmare Moon's about to return to Equestria
And an eternal night will happen eventually

[FFS #4]
Well it's no wonder that she's such a beauty
Her looks have got no parallel

[FMS #6]
But behind this fair facade, I'm afraid she's rather odd
Very different from the rest of us

[Canterlot Snobs]
She's nothing like the rest of us
Yes, different from the rest of us, Twilight

[Twilight Sparkle]
See? I told you that she would want to take immediate action!

(Spike opens the letter and reads it)

[Spike]
"My dearest, most faithful student, Twilight... you know that I value your diligence and I trust you completely. But you simply must stop reading those dusty old books. There is more to a young pony's life than studying. So I'm sending you to supervise the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration in this year's location, Ponyville. And I have an even more essential task for you to complete. Make some friends."

(Twilight Sparkle groans)

Right from the moment when I saw this letter
I thought Twilight will do real swell
She will have to make some friends, but I hope her life won't end
So I hope this task's a breeze for Miss Twilight!

(A group of three mares that have nothing to do with the plot of the episode come onscreen following a colt fangirlishly and giggling like idiots)

[Groupies]
Look there he goes, isn't he dreamy?
Monsieur Antoine, oh he's so cute!
Be still, my heart! I'm hardly breathing!
He's such a tall, dark, strong, and handsome colt!

[FFS #1]
Bonjour!

[Twilight Sparkle]
Pardon!

[Spike]
Good day!

[FFS #2]
Mais oui!

[FFS #3]
You call this bacon?

[FFS #4]
What lovely grapes

[FMS #1]
Some chesse

[FFS #5]
Ten yards

[FMS #2]
One pound

[Twilight Sparkle]
'Scuse me!

[FMS #3]
I'll get the knife!

[Twilight Sparkle]
Please let us through!

[FFS #6]
This bread!

[FFS #7]
Those fish!

[FFS #6]
It's stale!

[FFS #7]
They smell!

[Colts (Mares)]
Madame's mistaken! (Well maybe so!)

[Twilight Sparkle (Canterlot Snobs)]
There must be more than this provincial life! (Good morning!)

[Spike (Canterlot Snobs)]
Just watch! We're going to Ponyville tonight! (Oh, good morning!)

[Canterlot Snobs]
Look there she goes, that mare is strange but special
A most peculiar mademoiselle

[Mares]
It's a pity and a sin

[Colts]
She doesn't quite fit in

[Canterlot Snobs]
'Cos she really is a funny mare
A beauty, but a funny mare
She really is a funny mare
Twilight!
