One day, during another Cider Season, two brothers showed up at Sweet Apple Acres with a machine that they claimed would be able to make enough cider for everypony in town, quicker than the Apples could.

To their credit, Flim and Flam's machine, The Super-Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, DID work, but their proposition of a joint venture was anything but fair. The incident eventually escalated when Granny Smith proposed a contest: whoever could make the most cider would leave town.

So of course, in order to stop the Apples from losing the farm, Applejack's friends stepped in to help.

Gotta keep
One mug ahead of the brothers
One apple ahead of the boys
To beat those two and their fancy toy!
"That’s a rodeo!”

One mug ahead of the snake-oil
That's all, and that's no joke
Or the Apples’ gonna find themselves broke

Press on!
Work that
Treadmill!
Big Mac!

Have to keep this up, girls
SSCS! Pump those cups, girl!
Ah can take a hint,
Gotta face the facts:
We’ve gotta step up to the plate!
Wait!

I’m working as fast as my hooves will let me
Without resorting to great bodily harm!
It’s like the Flim-Flam bros are out to get me…
Gotta work to brew,
Gotta brew to win
Tell y’all about it if we keep the farm!

One mug ahead of the slowpokes
One jug ahead of our loss
Like we’re fighting the very last boss

One mug ahead of the low-downs
One drink ahead of the flock
Me and the girls are gonna show we rock

Good ‘un!
Bad ‘un!
Do we
Have ‘em?

Girls, Ah think we’re winning!
My stamina's rather thinning...
Gotta work to brew,
Gotta brew to win
The Apple Family’s doin’ great too!

One mug ahead of the hoofbeats
(Press on!)
One pint ahead of the bin
(Work that!)
One cup ahead of disaster
(Treadmill!)
They're quick, but we're much faster
(Big Mac!)
Here goes: Headin’ for the home stretch
Make it on our own stretch
All Ah gotta do is win!
