Chorus:

Oh, the farmer and the cloudmare should compete,

Yes, the farmer and the cloudmare should compete.

One mare tends to trees and grain;

The other tends to wind and rain.

But that's no reason why they can't compete.

Pinkie and Spike:

Ponyville folks'll run the leaves down,

Ponyville folks, get on your marks.

Rainbow cheats at the Iron Pony,

AJ makes like a tree and barks!

(Spike: What does that mean?)

Applejack:

I'd like to say a word fer the farmer...

She's ethical and honest in her dealings.

She'd never play unfair; she's a decent, forthright mare.

Rainbow Dash:

Who smells like pig manure and apple peelings!

(Applejack: Now that was uncalled-for!)

(Rainbow Dash: Well, it's true!)

Applejack:

The farmer has a wealth of extra duties,

Like baking, stomping grapes, and apple coring.

She works from dawn 'til dark, putting food into the market!

Rainbow Dash: I guess that's why she's usually so boring!

(Applejack: Take that back!)

Chorus:

Oh, the farmer and the cloudmare should compete,

Yes, the farmer and the cloudmare should compete.

One mare likes to push a cloud,

The other stands there looking proud,

But that's no reason why they can't compete.

Pinkie and Spike:

Use that tree like a giant slingshot;

Run from the bee swarm at your tail.

Rainbow screws with the trail directions;

AJ just syrups up the trail!

Rainbow Dash:

I'd to say a word for the cloudmare―

Her way of life is nothing short of awesome.

Through pressure fronts and cold, she's intrepid and she's bold...

Applejack: But when there's work to do, she just plays possum!

Rainbow Dash: (What? I do not.)

The cloudmare has a full and busy schedule...

It's a wonder she can keep it without snapping.

There's all kinds of crazy weather that she's got to keep together...

Applejack: No wonder you spend four hours each day napping!

(Rainbow Dash: Okay, that's it. It is ON.)

Chorus:

Oh, the farmer and the cloudmare should compete.

Yes, the farmer and the cloudmare should compete.

One works hard to feed the town;

The other sends the hailstones down,

But that's no reason why they can't compete.

Pinkie and Spike:

Ponyville folks are finished running;

Rainbow and AJ fell behind.

Twilight, proud of a fifth-place medal

Gives 'em a small piece of her mind!

Twilight Sparkle:

I'd like to teach you both a little saying

Now that we're at the finish of the race.

I don't say that I'm better than anypony else...

...But if you're so great, how come you got last place?!

Chorus:

We don't say we're no better than anypony else,

But if you're so great, how come you got last place?!

Pinkie and Spike:

Ponyville folks ran all the leaves down;

Rainbow and AJ feeling dumb.

Too much spite turned to too much cheating;

Better to call your pal your chum!

Chorus:

Princess Celestia tells the racers:

Not quite all of the job got done.

AJ and Dash forgive each other,

Throw their heads in the air and run!
