Lyrics

 * [Applejack]
 * Yee-hoo!


 * Raise this barn, raise this barn
 * One, two, three, four
 * Together, we can raise this barn
 * One, two, three, four


 * Up, up, up, go the beams
 * Hammer those joints, work in teams
 * Turn 'em round quick by the right elbow
 * Grab a new partner, here we go


 * Apple family: Yeah!
 * Applejack: Come on, Apple family! Let's get to it! Wee-hoo!


 * [Applejack]
 * Raise this barn, raise this barn
 * One, two, three, four
 * Together, we can raise this barn
 * One, two, three, four


 * Finish the frame, recycling wood
 * Workin' hard, you're doin' good
 * Turn 'em round quick by the right elbow
 * Grab your partner, here we go


 * Apple family: Yeah!
 * Applejack: Whoo-whee!


 * [Applejack]
 * Raise this barn, oh, raise this barn
 * One, two, three, four
 * Together, we can raise this barn
 * One, two, three, four


 * Slats of wood come off the ground
 * Hold 'em up and nail 'em down
 * Turn 'em round quick by the left elbow
 * Grab a new partner, here we go


 * Apple family: Yeah!
 * Applejack: Come on, Apples! Get 'er done!

 * We Apples, we are proud to say


 * [Applejack and Apple Bloom]
 * Stick together the pony way

 * Bow to your partner, circle right
 * Get down if you're scared of heights
 * Forward back and twirl around
 * The barn's gonna be the best in town


 * Apple family: Yeah!
 * Applejack: Yee-haw! Attagirl!
 * Apple Bloom: Alright, let's get to it!


 * [Apple family]
 * Raise this barn, raise this barn
 * One, two, three, four
 * Together, we can raise this barn
 * One, two, three, four


 * [Applejack]
 * Take your brushes, young and old
 * Together, paint it, bright and bold
 * Turn 'em round quick by the left elbow
 * Grab a new partner, here we go


 * [Apple family]
 * We raised this barn, we raised this barn
 * Yes, we did
 * Together we sure raised this barn
 * Yes, we did


 * Being together counts the most
 * We all came here from coast to coast
 * All we need to strive to be
 * Is part of the Apple family


 * Apple Bloom: Yeah!
