Equestrian Pie

[PonyHag1 591]

This is the big one...based on "American Pie" by Don McLean.

 

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember how those ponies used to make

me smile
And Pinkie knew if she had her chance
That she could make those ponies dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while

But the Princess made Spike shiver
With every letter he'd deliver
Bad news on Fluttershy's doorstep
She couldn't take one more step

I can't remember if I cried
When I read about Shining Armor's bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day that Scootaloo could fly


So bye-bye, Miss Equestrian Pie
Drove my wagon to the levee, but the levee was dry
And them good old ponies were drinkin' apple cider

and rye
Singin' This'll be the day that Scootaloo flies
This'll be the day that she flies


Did you write the book of friendship
And do you have faith in Celestia above
If the Elements tell you so?
Now do you believe in rock and roll
Can Luna save your mortal soul
And can Dash teach you how to fly real slow?

Well, I know that Cadence is in love with him
'Cause I saw them dancin' in the gym
They both kicked off thier (horse) shoes
Man, Vinyl digs those rhythm and blues

Mac was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a green apple mark and a pickup truck
But he knew he was out of luck
The day that Scootaloo could fly


I started singin' bye-bye, Miss Equestrian Pie
Drove my wagon to the levee, but the levee was dry
Them good old ponies were drinkin' apple cider and rye
Singin' "This'll be the day that Scootaloo flies
This'll be the day that she flies."


Now for two years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the Pinkie sang for the Cranky king
With a smile she borrowed from herself
And a voice that came from you and me

Oh, and while the donkey was looking down
The Pinkie stole his hairpiece crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned

And while Sweetie Belle read a book on Marks
Octavia practiced in the park
And we sang "Smile Song" in the dark
The day that Scootaloo could fly


They were singin' bye-bye, Miss Equestrian Pie
Drove my wagon to the levee, but the levee was dry
Them good old ponies were drinkin' apple cider and rye
Singin' "This'll be the day that Scootaloo flies
This'll be the day that she flies."


Helter skelter in a summer swelter
Fluttershy flew off to the fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
She landed foul on the grass
The CMC tried for a forward pass
With Pinkie on the sidelines in a cast

Now the Derpy muffins were sweet perfume
While Octavia played a marching tune
Pinkie got up to dance
Oh, but she never got the chance

'Cause the Mane 6 tried to take the field
The Changelings refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day that Scootaloo could fly?


They started singin' bye-bye, Miss Equestrian Pie
Drove my wagon to the levee, but the levee was dry
Them good old ponies were drinkin' apple cider and rye
Singin' "This'll be the day that Scootaloo flies
This'll be the day that she flies."


Oh, and there they were all in one place
Six ponies lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on, Dash be nimble, Dash be quick
Rainbow Dash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is Discord's only friend

Oh, and as they watched him on the stage
Thier hooves were clenched in fists of rage
No pony Mare Do Well
Could break that Discord's spell

And as the chaos climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Discord laughing with delight
The day that Scootaloo could fly


He was singin' bye-bye, Miss Equestrian Pie
Drove my wagon to the levee, but the levee was dry
Them good old ponies were drinkin' apple cider and rye
Singin' "This'll be the day that Scootaloo flies
This'll be the day that she flies."


I met a mare who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the Cakes' store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But Pinkie there said the music wouldn't play

And in the streets, the CMC screamed
The mares cried and the stallions dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The quills all were broken

And the three ponies I admire most
The Twilight, Pinkie and the Applejack
They caught the last train for Canterlot
The day that Scootaloo could fly


And they were singin' bye-bye, Miss Equestrian Pie
Drove my wagon to the levee, but the levee was dry
Them good old ponies were drinkin' apple cider and rye
Singin' "This'll be the day that Scootaloo flies
This'll be the day that she flies."


Everypony was singin' bye-bye, Miss Equestrian Pie
Drove my wagon to the levee, but the levee was dry
Them good old ponies were drinkin' apple cider and rye
And singin' "This'll be the day that Scootaloo flies."
