Lyrics

 * [Pinkie Pie]
 * For all my life, all I've wanted to do
 * Was make my friends want to smile true
 * But maybe I was wrong
 * And Pinkie Pie shouldn't plan parties at all


 * I'll try to get up on my hooves
 * And try a different task
 * I'll find something new to do
 * There's gotta be more to me than planning a party or two


 * I put away my party cannon, I deflated all my balloons
 * The bubbles all burst, now what is next for you?
 * For you...


 * Oh, I remember this one: my first party ever. My whole family was there. And that's Twilight's welcome-to-Ponyville party. She didn't even expect that one. [giggles] Oh, look at Gummy! He just looks so excited for this birthday party! Hmm. Shining Armor and Cadance's wedding sure was special, especially once I got a hold of the music.


 * Oh, look at those happy faces
 * All the parties that I had thrown
 * I made them laugh, had such a blast
 * A smile that's all their own
 * They loved seeing me, the real Pinkie
 * Show them the time of their life like they've never known
 * Like they've never kno-o-own


 * I've got to get back out there, have to show them that I've tried
 * For there's only one great party pony -- that is Pinkie Pie
 * Won't let Cheese Sandwich beat me, won't let him get me down
 * For I am Pinkie, the bestest party pony around!
