May the Best Pet Win
[Fluttershy]
Now, Rainbow, my dear, I cannot express my delight
It's abundantly clear
That somewhere out here
Is a pet that will suit you just right

[Rainbow Dash]
I can't wait to get started, but first let me set a few rules
It's of utmost importance
The pet that I get
Is something that's awesome and cool

[Fluttershy]
Awesome, cool, got it
I have so many wonderful choices, just wait, you will see

[Rainbow Dash]
I need something real fast like a bullet to keep up with me

[Fluttershy]
Sure! How 'bout a bunny?
They're cutesy and wutesy and quick as can be

[Rainbow Dash]
Cutesy? Wutesy? Have you even met me?
[Fluttershy]
Rainbow, have faith
You see, I will bet you
Somewhere in here is a pet that will get you

[Fluttershy]
C'mon, the sky's the limit!

[Rainbow Dash]
Sky is good. I'd like it to fly

[Fluttershy]
Really? Because I think this widdle puddy tat has your name written all over it. Yes he does. Aww, look, he likes you!

[Rainbow Dash]
Pass

[Fluttershy]
I have so many wonderful choices for you to decide
There are otters and seals
With massive appeal

[Rainbow Dash]
Otters and seals do not fly

[Fluttershy]
Maybe not, but I've seen this particular seal catch ten feet of air when he breaches the water
[Rainbow Dash]
That's it. I'm outta here

[Fluttershy]
Wait! There must be a pet here
That will fit the ticket
How 'bout a ladybug or a cute cricket?

[Rainbow Dash]
Bigger. And cooler

[Fluttershy]
Bigger. Cooler. Right
I've got just the thing in that tree, Dash
Meet your new fabulous pet Squirrely

[Rainbow Dash]
It's just a squirrel

[Fluttershy]
Not just any squirrel. A flying squirrel!

[Rainbow Dash]
Yeah. So, like I was saying
Fluttershy, pal, this won't cut it
I need a pet to keep up with me
Something awesome, something flying
With coolness that defies gravity
[Fluttershy]
I'm sensing you want an animal that can fly

[Rainbow Dash]
Ya think?

[Fluttershy]
I have plenty of wonderful creatures who soar in the sky
Like a sweet hummingbird or a giant monarch butterfly

[Rainbow Dash]
Better, but cooler

[Fluttershy]
I see. How 'bout an owl, or a wasp, or a toucan?
There's so many wonderful creatures the likes of that
There are falcons and eagles
They are both quite regal
Or perhaps what you need is a dark and mysterious bat

[Rainbow Dash]
Now you're talking
But instead of just one standout, now that's too many
So many choices, and such riches aplenty

[Fluttershy]
Not a bad problem to have if you ask me

[Rainbow Dash]
The bat would be awesome, but the wasp I'm digging too
D'you have something in a yellow striped bat?

[Fluttershy]
No, I've got a hot pink flamingo, just dying to meet you

[Rainbow Dash]
What to do, what to do. (gasp)
A prize! That's it! There's really just one way
To find out which animal's best
Hold a contest of speed, agility, and guts
That will put each pet to the test

[Fluttershy]
Don't forget style, that should be considered

[Rainbow Dash]
Then we'll know for sure who's best of the litter

[Fluttershy]
The one who is awesome and cool

[Rainbow Dash]
Just like me
Can't settle for less, cause I'm the best

[Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash]
So a contest we will see

[Rainbow Dash]
Who's the number one, greatest, perfectest pet

[Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash]
In the world for me

[Fluttershy]
May the games

[Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash]
Begin

[Rainbow Dash]
And may the best pet win!
