A True, True Friend

A True, True Friend is the fourth of the seven songs featured in the season three finale, Magical Mystery Cure. The song was leaked during the week leading up to the episode's airing on February 11, 2013. The last verse of the song is heard in the end credits for this episode. The song has been released as a sing-a-long on the DVD My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Princess Twilight Sparkle.

This song serves as the sixth track on the album Songs of Ponyville.

Lyrics

 * [Twilight Sparkle]

 * Twilight Sparkle: There's no time to explain, but we need your help. Applejack's trying to make dresses!

 * A true, true friend helps a friend in need
 * To see the light that shines from a true, true friend.


 * Rarity: [gasps] Oh my, what a terrible dream I had. Or, maybe I'm still having it.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Rarity, Pinkie Pie is about to lose the apple farm. We need Applejack's help!
 * Rarity: Lose the apple farm? Well we can't let that happen, now can we?


 * [Rarity]
 * Pinkie Pie is in trouble
 * We need to get there by her side
 * We can try to do what we can now
 * For together we can be her guide

 * A friend will be there to help them see
 * A true, true friend helps a friend in need
 * To see the light that shines from a true, true friend


 * Applejack: Yee-haw! Now that's more like it! What's next?
 * Twilight Sparkle: The townspeople are furious. We need the old Pinkie Pie back.
 * Applejack: I'm on it. I know just the thing.


 * [Applejack]
 * The townspeople need you
 * They've been sad for a while
 * They march around, face a-frown
 * And never seem to smile
 * And if you feel like helpin'
 * We'd appreciate a lot
 * If you'd get up there and spread some cheer
 * From here to Canterlot


 * Pinkie Pie: Come on ponies, I wanna see you SMILE!
 * Crowd: PINKIE!
