Equestria Girls (Cafeteria Song)

Equestria Girls is a song in My Little Pony Equestria Girls. Twilight Sparkle and her new human friends sing the song in the Canterlot High school cafeteria in order to create unity between the students and boost Twilight's popularity, and to also help everyone forget about Twilight's embarrassing video. In the third Through the Mirror bonus feature, The Music, Daniel Ingram refers to the song as being called "Cafeteria Song", and in an August 2013 tweet, Ingram refers to the song as "The Cafeteria Song". A karaoke version of the song is included under the title "Cafeteria Song" on the Blu-ray and DVD releases of the film. A slightly extended version of the song was published by Hasbro's mylittlepony and mlpequestriagirls YouTube channels respectively on August 27 and 28, 2013, under the title "Magic of Friendship". Music from the song is used in Hasbro's Equestria Girls online games Dash for the Crown and Fall Formal Dance-Off, the latter of which identifies the music as rock. A shorter version of this song and the instrumental track of Time to Come Together can be found in the Hearth's Warming Eve update of Gameloft's mobile game.

 * Hey, hey, everybody

Lyrics

 * Ooh-ooh, yeah!


 * Hey, hey, we may seem different as night and day
 * But Equestria Girls see things a different way
 * Just look a little deeper and you will see
 * You know I'm just like you and you're just like me


 * We're Equestria Girls and we're here to shout
 * That the magic of friendship is what it's all about
 * We're Equestria Girls standing side by side
 * Finding the magic of friendship deep inside
 * Equestria Girls! Yeah!


 * Twilight Sparkle's a princess who shines
 * Fluttershy's so sweet and kind
 * Applejack has a country flair
 * Rarity knows just what to wear
 * Everyone wants Rainbow Dash on their side
 * No one's more fun than Pinkie Pie


 * Generous, honesty
 * Laughter, kindness, loyalty
 * Free to be what we will be
 * Living life in harmony


 * We're Equestria Girls and we're here to shout
 * That the magic of friendship is what it's all about
 * We're Equestria Girls and we're here to say
 * We're gonna see things a different way
 * Equestria Girls!
