"The Choice"
from the episode "...And the Winner Is"

Clover:
Pink or yellow in my hair,
I hate choosing what to wear!
A or B; don't ask me!
My head just starts to ache.
Sometimes I just never know the choice I ought to make,
I find it so confusing to be faced with a decision,
I even dread choosing what to watch on television!
Bon Bon? Bright Eyes? Melody?
Or one of the other three?
Which is right? That's my plight!
I don't know who to take,
Two seats only for the show,
Each of them deserves to go,
I wish there was someway to know the choice I ought to make,
Which choice I ought to make?

 

"Lessons"
from the episode "An Apple for Starlight"

Starlight:
Lessons, lessons...pay attention to your lessons!
Though they may be tiring,
Knowledge is a precious thing!
Sweetheart and Bright Eyes:
Not much glamour learning all the rules of grammar,
Still the things we learn at school,
May someday be a helpful tool!
Starlight:
We should study history,
It offers lessons at almost every turn!
Sweetheart and Bright Eyes:
Study well each episode,
You'll thank your stars for the things you learn!
Starlight:
Reading, writing...doesn't always seen exciting,
Still, next time you get depressed,
When cramming for tomorrow's test...
Sweetheart:
Stop delaying though you'd rather be out playing,
Give your thoughts to study for a spell!
All:
Someday it will come to pass,
You'll use the things you learned in class,
So, learn your lessons well!
Learn your lessons well!



"Sweet Music"
from the episode "Battle of the Bands"

Melody and the Rockin' Beat Ponies:
Sweet music...oh, sweet music,
That's what I hear then you appear,
Sweet music...oh, sweet music,
Life is in tune when you are near,
When you are gone the song just isn't there,
But then I see your face again music fills the air,
Sweet music...oh, sweet music,
I love the sound when you're around,
Sweet music...oh, sweet music,
Beautiful harmonies abound.
I know our song will never die,
We make sweet music, you and I,
Repeat: <We make sweet music, you and I.>

 

"In the Forest"
from the episode "Birds of a Feather"

Bright Eyes:
There's a song in the air in the forest,
Birds are singing as they're winging here and there,
Could it be the scenery? The brilliant forest greenery,
Is that why there's music everywhere?
There's a beautiful sound in the forest,
Birds are tweeting out their greeting loud and clear,
There is nowhere to be found...
Something sweeter that the sound,
Of nature's own sweet song!
Birds feel safe and at home in the forest,
They feel right...there,
Because they're right where they belong,
There's no way to recreate...replace....or imitate,
Nature's own sweet song!
Nature's own sweet song!

 

"It's Harvest Time"
from the episode "Blue Ribbon Blues"

Corny/family:
It's harvest time...come along with me!
It's harvest time...wait until you see!
The combine machine; it does two jobs,
It cuts sown the corn stalks and strips off the cobs,
It's harvest time...we've got bushels of fun!
It's harvest time...there's so much to get done!
Doing the chores we have to do,
But we're having fun spending harvest time with you.
It's harvest time...come on, everyone, join in!
It's harvest time...here's how we begin!
We shovel the grain; we pack up the sacks,
We pop it up for popcorn; we never relax,
It's harvest time...so much to be done!
It's harvest time, and we're having fun!
Doing the chores we have to do,
We're all having fun spending harvest time,
We're all having fun spending harvest time,
I'm having fun spending harvest time with you!

Secrets, secrets...think of how embarrassed I would be!
If they knew the secret side of me.

My secret hideout's where no one would guess it!
Patch:
Not as courageous as I'm painted,
I saw a mouse last weak and almost fainted!

Once I got locked in alone for hours!

I broke my mother's favorite vase for flowers!
Bon Bon, Sweetheart, Melody, Patch, Bright Eyes, and Clover:
Don't know what I'd do?
I'd die if people knew my secrets!
Starlight:
It's the truth, though no one is the wiser,
Ms. Hackney's my personal advisor.

What if all the kids should start repeating?
I got an A in math by cheating!
Bon Bon, Sweetheart, Melody, Patch, Bright Eyes, and Clover:
Secrets, secrets...everybody has their..
Secrets, secrets...wouldn't want to give my own away!
If you've got a secret, it should stay...
Secret, secret, secret, secret...
<Shhhh!>


"Think Again"
from the episode "The Great Lemonade Stand Wars"
Ace, Lancer, and Teddy:
If you think that you can beat us, think again!
If you think you can defeat us, think again!
Just when you think you've got us licked,
You'll find out that you've been tricked,
If futures you're predicting...think again!
Bright Eyes, Bon Bon, Clover, Melody, Patch, Starlight, Sweetheart:
If you think that you can match us, think again!
Though you try, you'll never catch us, think again!
Just when you're sure you're out in front,
We'll pull off some clever stunt...think again!
Ace, Lancer, and Teddy:
Why not just admit you have no chance of winning?
Bright Eyes, Bon Bon, Clover, Melody, Patch, Starlight, Sweetheart:
We're not scared a bit, we've had the edge from the beginning!

Think you'll win because you are leading...think again!

"Off You Go"
from the episode "Gribet"

Sweetheart:
Off you go...into the great unknown,
It's time you were on your own,
Make the break, but quickly, for heaven's sake,
Despite how my heart might ache!
Much as I'd love to have you stay,
Believe me when I say, it's better off this way,
...Off you go!
Bon Bon:
Life is awaiting you!
Clover:
Your fit and as good as new!
All:
So, off with you, off with you!
Off you go...off you go...off you go!


"An Unforgettable Party"
from the episode "Happy Birthday, Sweetheart"
 

All:
Colored streamers, party favors...
Ice cream in assorted flavors,
All of the ingredients are here,
For an unforgettable party to usher in your tenth year!
All your friends have been invited,
Everyone is so excited,
Thinking of the games that we will play,
At this unforgettable party to celebrate your big day!
Pass the lemon...charades and statues...tag and musical chairs!
That's what makes a memorable party,
Fun and games that everyone shares,
Read the cards with heartfelt wishes,
Taste the chocolate...it's delicious!
See the gifts in every shape and size,
It's an unforgettable party; a happy birthday surprise!
Repeat: <It's an unforgettable party; a happy birthday surprise!>


"Perfect Pair"
from the episode "Just For Kicks"


Starlight:
Maybe a new hair-do; something with a braid,
Add to that a ribbon of a brilliant shade,
When he sees me dressed up, that boy will stop and stare,
He'll realize we make a perfect pair!
Going for a picnic; skating on a lake,
I can see in my mind's eye the outings we would take,
Give me a bandana; one he can't ignore,
Bracelets ought to make him like me even more,
If I change completely, he'll become aware,
That she and he...I mean...me and he,
We make a perfect pair!
We make a perfect pair!

The second half of the song sung later in the show:
Starlight:
Tried out for the team and it was gruesome,
It's plain to see that you and me are not the perfect two-some,
All that I had wished for now has gone to ruin,
Every hope and daydream bursts like a balloon,
High time that I faced it; I don't have a prayer,
That boy and I must say good-bye,
We're not a perfect pair!

 

 

"The Best Dream"
from the episode "The Masquerade"

Bon Bon:
Melody longs to be a rock star,
She has dreamed about it since I can recall,
That's okay for Melody, if that's what she would like to be,
But mine is the best dream of all.
Starlight has dreams to be a teacher,
Patch would like to be a circus clown,
Bright Eyes' dream is excellent to help save our environment,
But mine is the best dream hands down...
I want to be a model.

Wearing everything from fancy gowns to jeans,
I want to be a model...a fabulous model,
Like in all the fashion magazines.
All my friends have their special daydreams,
But their dreams will not suit my fantasy,
Yes...they may be quite worthwhile,
Sorry, they're just not my style...

Mine is the best dream for me,
Mine is the best dream for me.



"When Fortune Smiled on Me"
from the episode "Out of Luck"

Once upon a time fortune smiled on me,
Now I find I'm stuck...
Completely out of luck.
Life is as bleak as it can be,
Strange how quickly things can change,
One false move...
You take a tumble.
One day tulips are in bloom,
Next day it's all gloom and doom,
Almost seems like a crime...
The fortunes piled on me.
How my heart would soar if I could feel once more,
The way it used to be,
When fortune smiled on me.


"The Magic of Theater"
from the episode "The Play's the Thing"

Starlight:
Making them believe in the web you weave,
That's the magic of theater!
Noble king and lords with their rubber swords,
That's the magic of theater!
A cardboard sun seems so real,
You can feel yourself growing warm,
A sudden flash! 
A noisy crash...
Makes a smashing thunderstorm!
See that mountain top? Why, it's a painted drop!
All:
That's the magic of theater!
Clover:
Fancy dressing gowns!
Bon Bon:
Made of hand-me-downs!
All:
That's the magic of theater!
Starlight:
Creating an illusion that takes their breath away!
All:
That's the magic of theater!
Starlight:
And the fun of putting on a play!
All:
That's the magic of theater!
That's the magic of theater!
Starlight:
To help make the illusion, we paint...
Patch:
We build!
Bon Bon:
We sew!
All:
That's the magic of theater!
And the fun of putting on a show,
That's the magic of theater!




"A Princess Must Look Beautiful"
from the episode "Princess Problems"
 

All:
A princess must look beautiful!
Or else it must seem grand,
So we'll use this bit of lace...
Starlight:
And this tattered pillow case,
And whatever else we find on hand!
All:
A princess must look beautiful!
And dress with style and flair,
So we'll make a royal cape,
Starlight:
By recycling that old drape,
And some fringe from that old easy chair,
All:
A princess must have diamonds!
Strung from end to end,
Melody:
But look, your mom has all these rhinestone trinkets she can lend!
All:
A princess must look tailored,
Trim as she can be!
Bon Bon:
You don't want those jellybeans,
Give them all to me!
All:
We tried to make you beautiful,
Somehow by hook or crook,
For a princess must look beautiful...and surprise!
Patch:
That's how I look?

 

"She's So Much Better Than Me"
from the episode "Send in the Clown"

Clover:

She's graceful, she's charming; she's poetry in motion,
And confident as can be,
My faults are all so glaring ,
There's no way of comparing,
She's so much better than me!
The difference between us is wider than an ocean,
My friends tell me endlessly,
Sometimes it's hard concealing this jealous feeling,
She's so much better than me!
Why am I not the one with talent?
Why can't I dance as well as her?
Imagine knowing you're the best...blessed with looks and all the rest,
Oh, if I only were!
I doubt if she suspects it or has the slightest notion,
How I am in misery!
Her talents keep on growing while I'm left stuck with knowing,
It's plain for the world to see,
She's so much better...
So much better then me!

 

"Today's My Wedding Day"
from the episode "Sister of the Bride"

Meadowlark:
Excuse the silly smile upon my face,
I can't help feeling things will go my way,
My heart is lighter than a song,
How could anything go wrong?
Today's my wedding day!
I see the guests and flowers all in place,
And then the wedding march will start to play.
Guests:
She's gorgeous! Stunning! What a bride!
So is the groom, who's at her side!
Meadowlark:
I'm sure that's what they'll say,
Today's my wedding day,
Something's telling me every bird up in the tree,
Will be singing out a song in perfect pitch,
And deep inside I feel a thrill,
That says the ceremony will proceed without a hitch,
We'll exchange a ring and then embrace,
I'll toss my little sister my bouquet,
And we'll ask each guest to take a slice of perfect wedding cake,
At least that's what I pray!
Today's my wedding day!

 

"A Juicy Story"
from the episode "Shop Talk"
Clover:
Well, I've got a juicy story; just wait until you hear!
Madame Percheran once had a beau,
Count Mafioso was his name; she's got his picture in a frame,
I think they were engaged once years ago.
Patch:
So here's my juicy story; my neighbor dyed her hair,
Instead of blonde, it turned an awful green!
Bon Bon:
I heard her hair fell out in clumps,
Because she came down with the mumps,
And now her family's under quarantine!
Melody:
I heard a rumor that Dazzle has a boyfriend,
He sings with the Cleveland Bays or so I heard!
Bright Eyes:
At school you should have seen the boys,
They jumped abound and made such noise,
Poor Ms. Hackney misspelled a word!
Clover:
Have you got a juicy story?
Starlight:
You know that stuck up pony who thinks that she's so smart?
Well heard today in math she got a D!
All:
To share these stories is such fun,
It's fun to share with everyone,
Gossip that's as juicy as can be,
Oh, I am in my glory when I hear a juicy story,
So long as it's not about me!
So long as it's not about me!


"The Adventure"
from "Up, Up and Away"


Patch:

I've had it with this boring old routine,
My days are dull and so free of strife,
I need a brief diversion,
Like a jungle land excursion,
Oh, where's the adventure in my life?
I'd like to commandeer a submarine,
Or hike up to the top of a soaring peak,
Or be an aviator,
Look!  A live volcano crater!
Oh, where's the adventure that I seek?
Some thing so exciting sounds so inviting,
I need to go out and get away,
Maybe mountain trailing or parasailing?
Or be a spy or a private eye?
Or a pirate stowaway?
Perhaps, I'll travel in a time machine?
Or steer a canoe over surging streams?
Who wants to study science when I could be battling giants?
Oh, where's the adventure?
I want more adventure!
I want more adventure than my dreams!
