Pinkieton

[Twilight Sparkle]
How does a bastard, orphan, filly of a whore and a
Rock Farmer, dropped in the middle of a forgotten
Spot in Equestria by providence, impoverished, in squalor
Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

[Spike]
The ten-dollar Founding Mare without a Mother
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter
By fourteen, they placed her in charge of a trading charter

[Gilda]
And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted
Away across the waves, she struggled and kept her guard up
Inside, she was longing for something to be a part of
The sister was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter

[Trixie]
Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned
Our girl saw her future drip, dripping down the drain
Put a pencil to her temple, connected it to her brain
And she wrote her first refrain, a testament to her pain

[Twilight]
Well, the word got around, they said, “This fillies is insane, man”
Took up a collection just to send her to the mainland
“Get your education, don’t forget from whence you came, and
The world's gonna know your name. What’s your name, kid?”

[Pinkamena Diane Pie]
Pinkamena Di-ane Pie
My name is Pinkamena Di-ane Pie
And there’s a million things I haven’t done
But just you wait, just you wait...

[Fluttershy]
When she was ten her father split, full of it, debt-ridden
Two years later, see Pinkie and her mother bed-ridden
Half-dead sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick

[FULL COMPANY EXCEPT Pinkie (whispering)]
And Pinkie got better but her mother went quick

[Princess Luna]
Moved in with her sister, the sister committed suicide
Left her with nothin’ but ruined pride, something new inside
A voice saying

[Princess Luna]
“You gotta fend for yourself.”
[COMPANY]
“Pinkie, you gotta fend for yourself.”
[Luna]
She started retreatin’ and readin’ every treatise on the shelf

[Twilight]
There would have been nothin’ left to do
For someone less astute
She woulda been dead or destitute
Without a cent of restitution
Started workin’, clerkin’ for her late mother’s landlord
Tradin’ sugar cane and rum and all the things she can’t afford
Scammin’ for every book she can get her hooves on
Plannin’ for the future see her now as she stands on
The bow of a ship headed for a new land
In Neigh York you can be a new mare

[COMPANY]
Scammin’

Plannin’
Oooh...
[COMPANY]
In Neigh York you can
Be a new mare—
In Neigh York you can
Be a new mare—
[Pinkie]
Just you wait!

Just you wait!
[COMPANY]
In Neigh York you can be a new mare—

[MARES]
In Neigh York—
[STALLIONS]

We are waiting in the wings for you

You could never back down
You never learned to take your time!

Oh, Pinkamena Diane Pie

When AMareica sings for you
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote the game?
The world will never be the same, oh

[Twilight]
The ship is in the harbor now
See if you can spot her

Another immigrant
Comin’ up from the bottom

Her enemies destroyed her rep
America forgot him

We fought with her

[Twilight]
And me? I’m the damn fool that shot her
