The Smile Song[2] is a song featured in the episode A Friend in Deed. Dubbed "smile" by the My Little Pony crew, it is sung by Pinkie Pie, expressing her love of laughter, happiness, and friends while making her way around Ponyville with a great big smile. In the sequence, Pinkie can be seen greeting several ponies, cheering up sad fillies and helping Applejack paint her barn. By the end of the song a large crowd of smiling background ponies and the leading characters have gathered around Pinkie Pie. They all sing along for the finale of the song after which Pinkie Pie meets Cranky Doodle Donkey for the first time.

Production and re-use[]

The song was uploaded in mono sound to YouTube by user "Veronica Dela Cruz" on 7 November 2011 but removed soon after; the leak led to Hasbro "cracking down" on material released by the show's artists.[3]

The song has been released as a sing-along on the DVDs My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Pinkie Pie Party[4] and My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Season Two Disc 4 (where it is called "Smile, Smile, Smile!").

Music from the song is used in the Pinkie Pie's Cupcake Maker game on the Hub Network's website. An instrumental version can be heard on the title screen for the My Little Pony iOS and Android game.

In Pinkie Pride, Cheese Sandwich sings a short polka rendition of the song during The Goof Off. Spike also mentions the Smile Song by name in Sweet and Smoky. The song is also featured in Cakes for the Memories during reused footage from A Friend in Deed.

It is the third track of the Songs of Friendship and Magic soundtrack album, under the title The Smile Song. It also serves as the second of two bonus tracks of side B on the Luna variant of the vinyl album Magical Friendship Tour and the second track on the My Little Pony 2015 Convention Collection.

The instrumental version of this song can be heard in the Pinkie Pie-themed levels of My Little Pony: Puzzle Party.

Pinkie Pie in her song

[Pinkie Pie]
My name is Pinkie Pie (Hello!)
And I am here to say (How ya doin'?)
I'm gonna make you smile and I will brighten up your day
It doesn't matter now (What's up?)
If you are sad or blue (Howdy!)
'Cause cheering up my friends is just what Pinkie's here to do
'Cause I love to make you smile, smile, smile
Yes I do
It fills my heart with sunshine all the while
Yes it does
'Cause all I really need's a smile, smile, smile
From these happy friends of mine
I like to see you grin (Awesome!)
I love to see you beam (Rock on!)
The corners of your mouth turned up is always Pinkie's dream (Hoof bump!)
But if you're kind of worried
And your face has made a frown
I'll work real hard and do my best to turn that sad frown upside down
'Cause I love to make you grin, grin, grin
Yes I do
Bust it out from ear to ear let it begin
Just give me a joyful grin, grin, grin
And you fill me with good cheer
It's true some days are dark and lonely
And maybe you feel sad
But Pinkie will be there to show you that it isn't that bad
There's one thing that makes me happy and makes my whole life worthwhile
And that's when I talk to my friends and get them to smile
I really am so happy
Your smile fills me with glee
I give a smile I get a smile
And that's so special to me
'Cause I love to see you beam, beam, beam
Yes I do
Tell me what more can I say to make you see
That I do
It makes me happy when you beam, beam, beam
Yes it always makes my day
Come on everypony smile, smile, smile
Fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine
All I really need's a smile, smile, smile
From these happy friends of mine

Come on everypony smile, smile, smile
Fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine
All I really need's a smile, smile, smile
From these happy friends of mine

Yes the perfect gift for me
Is a smile as wide as a mile
To make me happy as can be

Come on everypony smile, smile, smile
Fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine
All I really need's a smile, smile, smile
From these happy friends of

[Pinkie Pie]
My name is Pinkie Pie (Hello!)
And I am here to say (How ya doin'?)
I'm gonna make you smile, and I will brighten up your day (Bonjour!)
It doesn't matter now (What's up?)
If you are sad or blue (Howdy pard'ner!)
'Cause cheering up my friends is just what Pinkie's here to do
'Cause I love to make you smile, smile, smile
Fills my heart up with sunshine, shine, shine
All I really need's a smile, smile, smile
From these happy friends of mine
I like to see you grin (Awesome!)
And I would love to see you beam (Rock on!)
Seein' the corners of your mouth turned up
Is always Pinkie's dream (Hoof-bump!)
But if you're kind of worried (Oh no!)
And your face has made a frown (Hold on!)
I'll work real hard and I do my best
To turn that sad frown upside down
'Cause I love to make you grin, grin, grin
Bust it out from ear to ea-ea-ear
Just give me a joyful gri-i-in
And you fill me with good cheer
It's true, some days are dark and gloomy
And maybe you feel sad
But Pinkie will be there to show you it really isn't bad
There's one thing that makes me so happy
And makes my life worthwhile
And that's when I talk to my friends and I get them to smile
Pinkie Pie: Did you finally get that nasty cough cleared up there, Derpy Doo?
Derpy Doo: Yes! I followed your advice and drank Zecora's no-cough brew!
Pinkie Pie: Your new haircut's really cool there, Hairy, Lookin' super-fly!
Hairy: Wow I can't believe you noticed! You're the best friend, Pinkie Pie!
Pinkie Pie: Hey there, Shimmy Shake! How did Twist do on her last spelling test?
Shimmy Shake: Thanks for asking, Pinkie Pie! This time she really did her best.
Pinkie Pie: Hey there Rarity, I really like your super sense of style.
Rarity: Thank you, Pinkie Pie. You sure do know just how to make me smile!
Pinkie Pie: Twilight, here's that book you wanted. It's about this great white whale! Hello, Spike, so nice to see you! Wow! I love your shiny scales! Fluttershy, I found a lost friend.
Fluttershy: Bunny, I'll take care of you!
Pinkie Pie: Applejack, tell Granny Smith I loved that tasty Apple Stew! Polo Ponies, best of luck! I know your game will go just great!
Polo Ponies: When we win, we want you here so you can help us celebrate!
Pinkie Pie: Hey there rooster, that sure was a super cock-a-doodle-doo! And, hey cows, I gotta thank you all for bustin' out a moo.
Cows: Moo!
Pinkie Pie: You chickens lay great eggs. And pigs, you really are fine swine. And seeing you all smile is really making me feel really fine!
[Pinkie Pie]
I really am so happy (Woo hoo!)
Your smile fills me with glee (Whoopee!)
I give a smile, and I get a smile
And that's so special to me
Thank you all for being friendly (Tee hee!)
And for making my day bright (Uh hunh!)
Spreading joy out to all my friends
Makes me feel out of sight

Tell me what more can I say-ay-ay
Makes me happy when you bea-ea-eam
Yes, it always makes my day!
[Choir and Pinkie Pie]
Yes, I love to make you grin, grin, grin
Bust it out from ear to ea-ea-ear
Just give me a joyful grin, grin, grin
And you fill me with good cheer
Come on everypony smile, smile, smile
Fill my heart up with sunshine, shine, shine
All I really need's a smile, smile, smile
From these happy friends of mine!

Make me happy as can be
All you have to do is smile
