Equestria Girls, also known as Cafeteria Song, is a song in My Little Pony Equestria Girls. It is the only song in the film performed onscreen by the characters.

Production and re-use

A karaoke version of the song is included under the title "Cafeteria Song" on the Blu-ray and DVD releases of the film. In the third Through the Mirror bonus feature, The Music, Daniel Ingram refers to the song as being called "Cafeteria Song", and in an August 2013 tweet, Ingram refers to the song as "The Cafeteria Song".

A slightly extended version of the song was published by Hasbro's mylittlepony and mlpequestriagirls YouTube channels respectively on August 27 and 28, 2013, under the title "Magic of Friendship".

Part of the song appears in chapters three and fifteen of the Rainbow Rocks screenplay novelization of the first eight animated shorts, on page 21 of the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls Holiday Special comic, and in chapter eight of Sunset Shimmer's Time to Shine.

Music from the song is used in Hasbro's Equestria Girls online games Dash for the Crown and Fall Formal Dance-Off, the latter of which identifies the music as rock. The Gameloft version uses a different vocal take from Rebecca Shoichet and removes Flash Sentry's guitar solos.

The song serves as the second track on the soundtrack album My Little Pony Equestria Girls - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, under the title Equestria Girls (Cafeteria Song). It also serves as the eleventh track of the My Little Pony 2015 Convention Collection, under the title Cafeteria Song.

Lyrics

Film version

[Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity]

Hey, hey, everybody

We've got something to say

We may seem as different

As the night is from day

But you look a little deeper

And you will see

That I'm just like you

And you're just like me.

Yeah!

Hey, hey, everybody

We're here to shout

That the magic of friendship

Is what it's all about

Yeah,

We thought we were different

As the night is from the day

Until Twilight Sparkle

Helped us see another way

So get up get down

If you're gonna come around

We can work together

Helping Twilight win the crown

So get up get down

'Cause it's gonna make a sound

If we work together

Helping Twilight Sparkle

Win the crown!

[Pinkie Pie]

Hey, hey hands up now,

We're sending a message

To the crowd

Hands wave up

Then come down

We party together

All around

[Rarity]

Generous, honesty,

[Applejack]

Laughter, kindness, loyalty

[Fluttershy]

Twilight helped us each to see

[Rainbow Dash]

All that we can be!

[Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity]

So get up get down

If you're gonna come around

We can work together

Helping Twilight win the crown

So get up get down

'Cause it's gonna make a sound

If we work together

Helping Twilight Sparkle

Win the crown!

[Twilight Sparkle]

I'm gonna be myself

No matter what I do

And if we're different yeah

I want you to be true to you

If you follow me

We'll put our differences aside

We'll stick together and

Start working on that school pride!
