Lyrics[]

[Capper]

This town is not a nice place

For little fillies all alone

There are lots of twists and corners

That could lead to the unknown

Let me guide your way

And I'll be sure to help you through

You could really use a friend out here

And luckily for you...

I'm the friend that you need

When you're lost and don't know what to do

I'm your pal, your amigo

Useful and resourceful, too

And my help, you'll concede

Is a plus guaranteed

You can call and I'll come running

Just follow my lead

'Cause I'm the friend you need!

[Klugetown Wool-Seller]

He's a friend

Scaly Klugetowner: Quite a friend!

[Klugetowners]

He's a friend indeed!

[chomp]

[Capper]

You need a bud to spot the danger

A pal to stop the creep

A chum and not a stranger to assist

You need a bro who is cunning

That can help you take the leap

A friend who knows what's lying in the mist

Don't fear these darkened alleys

They're scary, yes, I know

Why, you could use a friend

To protect you wherever you go

And such a dazzling beauty

Covered in dirt and muck

But now your fate is changing

Now you are in luck

'Cause I'm the friend that you need

When you're lost and don't know what to do

I'm your pal, your amigo

Lookin' out for friends like you

And my help, you'll concede

Is a plus guaranteed

Just call and I'll come running

We'll say it's agreed...

[to Needy] Here. Tell Verko, "My place, twenty minutes." I've got something that will "magically" erase all my debt.

'Cause I'm the friend you need!

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

He's a friend

Rarity: Quite a friend!

[Ponies except Twilight Sparkle]

He's a friend indeed!
