Derby Racers is the tenth song of season six of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, featured in the fourteenth episode The Cart Before the Ponies. It is sung during the Applewood Derby as Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Applejack steal the thunder from Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom, respectively. The song is also heard instrumentally twice in the same episode during a montage of the Cutie Mark Crusaders and their sisters making their carts and at the end during the do-over of the Derby.

The song's instrumental backing is briefly re-used in the season eight episode Yakity-Sax.

Lyrics[]

Crusaders' carts racing on a checkered flag S6E14

Giddyup, derby racers!

[Ponies]
Go, go, go!
[Applejack]
Check me out, racin' the Derby
Check out my old-fashioned cart
[Rarity]
Check me out, racing the Derby
In my original work of art
[Rainbow Dash]
Check me out, faster than ever
There's nopony can catch me now
[Cutie Mark Crusaders]
Let me out, I'd do it over
If I only knew how!
[Ponies]
Giddyup, derby racers
Giddyup, derby racers
Giddyup, derby racers
Go, go, go!
[Rarity]
My cart's the most original
Designed with imagination
[Applejack]
My cart's the most traditional
Just plain, no complications
[Rainbow Dash]
Look at me, I am the ace
Might as well give up the chase
[Cutie Mark Crusaders]
Wish we could stop this race
Start again and do it our way
Scootaloo: Having any fun yet?
Apple Bloom: Nope! Maybe if we could go a little faster!
[Ponies]
Giddyup, derby racers
Giddyup, derby racers
Giddyup, derby racers
Go, go, go!
[Rarity]
Gotta get some attention
If I want that ribbon
[Rainbow Dash]
Gotta push the limit further
Blow away the competition
[Applejack]
Gotta coast on through
Just relax, we're gonna cruise it
[Apple Bloom]
Guess I don't really care
Since we're clearly gonna lose it
[Rarity]
See, everypony's watching
Presentation is a glory
[Rainbow Dash]
Just passed you, even faster
Speed is king, end of story
[Rarity]
Bigger, bolder down the track
[Applejack]
Love the view from the back of the pack
[Rainbow Dash]
Won't stop, we're on the attack
[Cutie Mark Crusaders]
Too late to take it all back!
[Ponies]
Giddyup, derby racers
Giddyup, derby racers
Giddyup, derby racers
Go, go—
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Look out!
