[Pinkie Pie]
Oh Ponyacci, Ponyacci,
What's got you so blue?
You're tired of performing
And so you think you're through.
But Ponyacci, Ponyacci,
Please don't look so down!
'Cause the best way to cheer up a clown
Is with another clown!
Oh, Ponyacci's famous for
His many brilliant tricks.
He juggles knives, he swallows fire,
He spins plates 'round on sticks!
His corny jokes are legendary,
They're known the whole world round:
"I washed my dog with spot remover
And now he can't be found!"
Ponyacci: I suppose you're trying to convince me not to quit, too?
Twilight Sparkle: No, I'm just handling props and background music.
[Pinkie Pie]
So put on your costume and powder your face,
And give yourself a chance to finish your race!
Keep dancing on that stage until the curtain falls at last,
And laugh, Ponyacci, laaaaaauuugh!
