Sing Along With Sweetie Belle!

by Jesse Coffey

First published January 1st, 1970 00:00

Sweetie Belle leads a fun sing-along chorus through rousing, spirited renditions of 12 great songs, some of which are from the fandom.

This songfic is inspired by several LPs by, and the TV show that starred, Mitch Miller and the Gang. The idea was also obtained by the ''Filli Vanilli (What If?)'' chapter in SuperPinkBrony12's story ''MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC - WHAT IF? VOLUME 2"

Rated E (Everyone) because, well, what are the songs intended for?

Itsy Bitsy Spider

Sweetie Belle says, "And now for the little ones in the family..."

She and her chorus sing,

The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout.

Down came the rain

and washed the spider out.

Out came the sun

and dried up all the rain

and the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again!

The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout.

Down came the rain

and washed the spider out.

Out came the sun

and dried up all the rain

and the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again!~

Sweetie Belle says, "Boy, that sure was fun!"

Carry Me Back To The Lone Prairie

Sweetie Belle says, "Now it is time to go back to our western theme for this next song. It's going to be fun for all! Let's sing it!"

Oh, carry me back to the lone prairie where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free

And when I die you can bury me 'neath the western skies on the lone prairie

I'm a roving cowpony far away from home

Far from the prairie where I used to roam

Where the doggies wander and the wind blows free though my heart is yonder on the lone prairie

Oh, carry me back to the lone prairie where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free

And when I die you can bury me 'neath the western skies on the lone prairie

(instrumental)

Oh, carry me back to the lone prairie where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free

And when I die you can bury me 'neath the western skies on the lone prairie!~

Sweetie Belle says, "This is the part where we go to another great brony song we hope you will sing along with!"

The Grand Old Duke of York

Sweetie Belle says, "Wasn't that last one just plain melancholic? Octavia must be feeling really, really sad in it. Let's cheer her up, shall we?" The chorus applauds while saying "Yay!" Sweetie Belle says, "Well, all right. Here we go!"

Oh, The grand old Duke of York,

He had ten thousand men;

He marched them up to the top of the hill,

And he marched them down again.

And when they were up, they were up,

And when they were down, they were down,

And when they were only half-way up,

They were neither up nor down.

I Know Where I'm Going

Apple Bloom approaches Sweetie Belle, who says, "Hello there Apple Bloom! I suppose you're coming to me because you have another song from your family you would like us to sing in this songfic."

Apple Bloom says, "Indeed I am. Here's a really tender song from me. Consider it a present."

Sweetie Belle says, "OK then! Hit It!"

I know where I'm goin'

and I know who's goin' with me

I know who I love

and my dear knows who I'll marry.

I have stockings of silk

and shoes of bright green leather

Combs to buckle my hair

and a ring for every finger

O' feather beds are soft

and painted rooms are bonnie

But I would give them all

for my handsome winsome Johnny

Some say that he's poor,

but I say that he's bonnie

Fairest of them all

is my handsome winsome Johnny.

Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes

Sweetie Belle says, "This next song was written in England a long time ago. It was introduced in America after we won the Revolution and made peace with England. No one can verify the music's composer, but the lyrics to these - and what lyrics they are - were extracted from a 1616 poem by Ben Jonson, who borrowed many of its stanzas from Greek philosopher Philostratus, who lived in 3rd Century B.C. Anyways, here it is!"

*Drink to me only with thine eyes, and I will pledge with mine

Or leave a kiss within the cup and I'll not ask for wine.

The thirst that from the soul doth rise doth ask a drink divine

But might I of Jove's nectar sup, I would not ask for thine.

I sent thee late a rosy wreath not so much honouring thee

As giving it a hope that there it could not withered be.

But thou there on dist only breathe and sent'st it back to me

Since when it grows and smells, I swear, not of itself but thee.*

Lullaby For A Princess/Ending

Sweetie Belle says, "We appropriately close this songfic with a song originally given over 2 million records' worth of fame by Ponyphonic and further ingrained in the young folks' memories forever by the wonderful MEMJ. We shall sing it for you now."

Sweetie Belle lightly sings "Oh..."

Fate has been cruel and order unkind

How can I have sent you away?

The blame was my own; the punishment, yours

The harmony's silent today

But into the stillness we'll bring you a song

And we will your company keep

Till your tired eyes and my lullabies

Have carried you softly to sleep

Once did a pony who shone like the sun

Look out on her kingdom and sigh

She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony

So lovely and so well beloved as I"

So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory

That long was the shadow she cast

Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved

And grew only darker as days and nights passed

Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine

And rest now in moonlight's embrace

Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth

Through cloud, and through sky, and through space

Carry the peace and the coolness of night

And carry my sorrow in kind

Luna, you're loved so much more than you know

Forgive me for being so blind

Soon did that pony take notice that others

Did not give her sister her due

And neither had she loved her as she deserved

She watched as her sister's unhappiness grew

But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly

Takes hold of the mind of its host

And that foolish pony did nothing to stop

The destruction of one who had needed her most

Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine

And rest now in moonlight's embrace

Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth

Through cloud, and through sky, and through space

Carry the peace and the coolness of night

And carry my sorrow in kind

Luna, you're loved so much more than you know

May troubles be far from your mind

And forgive us for being so blind

The years now before us

Fearful and unknown

We never imagined

We'd face them on our own

May these thousand winters

Swiftly pass, we pray

we love you; we miss you

All these miles away

May all your dreams be sweet tonight

Safe upon your bed of moonlight

And know not of sadness, pain, or care

And when we dream, we'll fly away and meet you there

Sleep!~

Sweetie Belle says, "Well, that's a wrap everypony! Be sure to see us for our follow-up songfic, which is to be posted in late fall! Bye now!"

Everybody in Sweetie Belle's chorus bids adieu until next time.

I Am Octavia

Sing Along With Sweetie Belle!

I Am Octavia

I comb the crowd, but I can’t see your face out there

I’m playing now, won’t wait on love

I'm paralyzed, from all these whispers in my brain

I’m focused now, I won’t give up

I'm resonant, won’t stop for you

Playing away, playing away

Playing games, you bring me pain

Playing away, playing away

You hurt me now, but I won't cry

I am Octavia

You hurt me now, but I won't cry

I am Octavia

Ditch me now, but it's you who'll have lost it all

Lost now and bleeding love

Rain it pours, but I won’t let it bring me down

I’m playing now, won’t wait on love

I'm resonant, won’t stop for you

Playing away, playing away

Playing games, you bring me pain

Playing away, playing away

You hurt me now, but I won't cry

I am Octavia

You hurt me now, but I won't cry

I am Octavia

I am Octavia

I am Octavia

Born strong, believe none

Dying over broken dreams

Born strong, and raised with class

You hurt me now, but I won't cry

I am Octavia

You hurt me now, but I won't cry

I am Octavia

You hurt me now, but I won't cry

I am Octavia

You hurt me now, but I won't cry

I am Octavia

I am Octavia!~

Love Me Cheerilee

Sweetie Belle says, "Now, for the soon to come Teacher's Day, let's all sing a song for our dear teacher Miss Cheerilee. Without her, we wouldn't have gotten smart, now would we have?"

Hey Cheerilee!

Hey Cheerilee!

I'm afraid to raise my hand!

I have something to ask you, because I want to understand

It's not about homework

It's about 1 + 1 is 2

I don't want you to teach me,

I just want to be with you!

Hey Cheerilee!

Hey Cheerilee!

Hey Cheerilee!

Hey Cheerilee!

Hey Cheerilee!

Hey Cheerilee!

I think I'm in love with you!

Hey Cheerilee!

Hey Cheerilee!

I'm afraid to see you after school!

I can't come to your office and tell you that you're cool

It's not about my tests

Or about my homework you should grade

I don't want you to tell me

I just want to go on a date

Hey Cheerilee!

Hey Cheerilee!

Hey Cheerilee!

Hey Cheerilee!

Hey Cheerilee!

Hey Cheerilee!

I think I'm in love with you!~

Lavender's Blue

Sweetie Belle says, "Twilight, why are you so blue?"

Twilight Sparkle says, "They cut my part out of this songfic!"

Sweetie Belle says, "Why would they do that?"

Twilight Sparkle says, "Because the moderator said it was copyrighted!"

Sweetie Belle says, "Oh. I see. Well, why don't we cheer you up? Everyone? All right."

Lavender's blue, lavender's green

    When I am king, You shall be queen

    Who told you so? Who told you so?

    'Twas my own heart, that told me so

    Call up your men, set them to work

    Some to the plough, some to the fork

    Some to make hay, some to cut corn

    While you and I, keep ourselves warm

    Lavender's green, Lavender's blue

    If you love me, I will love you

    Let the birds sing, And the lambs play

    We shall be safe, out of harm's way

    I love to dance, I love to sing

    When I am queen, You'll be my king

    Who told me so? Who told me so?

I told myself, I told me so

Twilight cries tears of joy and says, "Thank you Sweetie Belle! You and your friends there with you have my blessing!"

Introduction/Whoopie Ti Yi Yo

Sweetie Belle, that filly of song, walks up to the direction facing you. She says, "Hello. My name is Sweetie Belle. As you may have noticed, I have become quite famous as a singing unicorn pony. However, it should be noted I'm not the only filly that has a great voice. To support this claim, I bring forth some of the ponies that are in my school choir. I shall present them one by one. They are"

One by one come Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, Rumble, Featherweight, Zipporwhill, Sweetie's manager Silver Spoon, and Ruby Pinch. All introduce themselves by saying their names.

Sweetie Belle smiles and says, "OK guys, are you ready to sing along with me?" All say yes. Sweetie Belle says, "Then let's get on with it! Oh, and the folks at home can sing along with us! All right, let's go!"

As I was out walkin' one mornin' for pleasure

I spied a cowpuncher a-ridin along

His hat was throwed back and his spurs were a-jingling

And as he approached, he was singin' this song

Whoopie-ti-yi-yo, get along you little dogie's

It's your misfortune and none of my own

Whoopie-ti-yi-yo, get along you little dogie's

You know that Wyoming will be your new home

It's early in the spring when we round up the dogies

We mark 'em and brand 'em and bob off their tails

We round up the horses, load up the chuck-wagon,

Then send the dogies out on the long trail.

Whoopie-ti-yi-yo, get along you little dogie's

It's your misfortune and none of my own

Whoopie-ti-yi-yo, get along you little dogie's

You know that Wyoming will be your new home

Your mother was raised away down in Texas,

Where the gypsum weed and the sandburs grow

We'll feed you up on prickly-pear and cholla

'Till you are ready for Idaho

Whoopie-ti-yi-yo, get along you little dogie's

It's your misfortune and none of my own

Whoopie-ti-yi-yo, get along you little dogie's

You know that Wyoming will be your new home

You know that Wyoming will be your new home!~

Sweetie Belle says, "And this songfic will be read by people in Wyoming and ALL around the world. This song is the first of the 12 that will make up each individual chapter of this fic." Sweetie Belle looks to see the Brony community that is reading this songfic. "And we'll also be singing the wonderful songs that you guys put out! We are going to entertain you throughout this song fic. Let's warm up now, shall we?"

The chorus repeats the song above.

The Bear Went Over The Mountain

Apple Bloom introduces this song: "Hello out there. I've brought over somethin' special to this songfic too! This is a song I've thought about singin' ever since we got stuck in a cave with that bear once!"

Sweetie Belle says, "Let's go!"

*The bear went over the mountain,

    The bear went over the mountain,

    The bear went over the mountain,

    To see what he could see.

    And all that he could see,

    And all that he could see,

    Was the other side of the mountain,

    The other side of the mountain,

    The other side of the mountain,

    Was all that he could see.

    The bear went over the river,

    The bear went over the river,

    The bear went over the river,

    To see what he could see.

    And all that he could see,

    And all that he could see,

    Was the other side of the river,

    The other side of the river,

    The other side of the river,

    Was all that he could see.*

A Long Way From Equestria

Sweetie Belle has promised that the Brony songs would be included in this song-fic. She's going to be honest by saying this, and here's one such song:

He was different from the rest of the world

He chose the lovely every time

With a smile, he would bravely soldier on

Was that such a crime?

He did not wear cynicism well

He chose the lovely every time

And they cut him down, the world cut him down

Being peaceful was his crime

And I don't understand the way we all behave

In this world of ours and in this world we live in...

We're a long way from Equestria

We're a long, long way

We're a long way from Equestria

We're a long, long way

She dared to love everybody

She was nothing but kind

And the world told her she was wrong

There must be something wrong with her mind

And she was just a child amongst thieves

Just a child looking for love

All the grown ups in the world told her she was wrong to believe in something we're all dreaming of

And I don't understand the wicked things we do

In this world of ours or in this world we live in...

We're a long way from Equestria

We're a long, long way

We're a long way from Equestria

A long, long, way

I will never give up the fight.

I will never surrender to the hate

I know this world ain't perfect at all

but the world is just what we create

So let's make love,

Let's make friends,

Let's take time to make amends,

Let's make the world more like Equestria
