[intro]
On a day's honest work
walkin' from the apple stall
takin' a break
and headin' to the town hall.
Mayor Mare losin' is breakin' news
with two ponies celebratin'
by givin' their Flim-Flammin' views.

With their winnin' speech
they declare their first law
all cider is banned in Ponyville
for evermore

[verse]
Ponies gasp
steppin' back 
like they seen a rattler 
or fearin' bear attack,
Twi's quick to the library 
an' hits the books
after'n all night session
townsponies are tradin' looks

she's returnin' 
with the fact
it's all official
and legally backed

[verse]
Ponies keep coming to Applejack, 
belly achin' about the lack of cider
she politely noddin' while hiding the
anger deep down inside her.
feelin' like there's somethin' she should do
knowin' the apple's would think so too
it's time to get her family's 
point of view.

[verse]
Granny smith slams her hoof down
slick-talkin’ varmints ain't gonna push us 'round
consarn it!
we're gonna keep on pressin'
so we can keep on blessin'
this town secretly with a supply o' cider 
and be a backwoods provider
makin' sure Ponyville never dries out

[verse]
the word soon spreads 'round town
about the cider underground
head to sweet apple acre's stall
and say its awful dry for fall
have a green apple is the reply
ya'll go to the farmhouse
Granny Smith'll give you one to try

[verse]
Applejack greets howdy, when
there's a'knockin' at the door
but seein' the fancy golden badge
nearly knocks her to the floor
hired hooves, the new mayors had deputized
loudly yellin' at her
outta way, you's bein' investigatized

[verse]
with some ponies still hidin'
Granny Smith raises the alarm
while the deputies search the farm
Apple Bloom quick-distracts 
with a lookit this weird bug
so Big Mac and applejack 
can cover the trapdoor with a rug

[verse]
when the deputies leave 
the hidden ponies scarper
the Apples mop their brows 
feelin' they need to play it smarter.
maybe there's somethin' they can move 'round
so they can deliver, under cover
to ponies secretly, while in town 

[verse]
Big mac and Applejack
under the cover of next market day
are pullin' a false bottom cart 
filled to the top with hay
when a group appears in fron' of them
the two come quickly to a halt
the deputies surround the new wagon 
expectin' to find fault
one knocks a loose panel
an' a half empty Barrel starts to roll
the slight slope makin' it
drop in front of the town's patrol

[bridge]
aww, hay, we been rumbled!
let's get outta here big mac!
yeehaw!
(get after them, boys!)


[verse]
the Apples split up and the deputies too
they cut in front of Applejack, who, 
blocked from leavin' town 
and needin' to double back
finds herself reunited with Big Mac.

both dash into the market 
hopin' to get out of view
tryin' to shake off the pursuers
by dippin' an' divin' their way through.

[verse]
hooves are a'gallopin', with
deputies still chasin' from behind
bustin' through stacks of boxes
one's now wearin' a cardboard blind.
Applejack shouts back 
while dodgin' side to side
y'all can't stop us!
we got apple pride!

[verse 11]
jus' mindin' her own business
is a gray pegasus walkin' across 
AJ and Big Mac swerve
their chosen fork, a coin toss
surrounded by walls of goods
seein' they're comin' to a dead end
their only hope, rampin' an upturned cart
with deputies comin' 'round the bend

[verse]
with the Apples leapin' through the air
the townsponies stop and stare
it's too late for the deputies to see
the old cart's collapsed debris 

slammin' into each other
and gatherin' up every stall
they rumblin' through town, now
like a mighty big snowball.

[verse]
ponies are divin' out the way
as the chaos comes tumblin' past
after finally slammin' into a wall
the avalanche comes to a stop, at last

papers are a'flyin' out
as the deputies lie dazed and cross-eyed
sprawled out in the mayoral office 
with a big hole in its side

[verse]
Twi's drawn by the commotion
with townsponies givin' aid
all's left for her is to gather papers
before they're mislaid

with a natural glancin' curiosity
she's seein' they're all receipts
both mayors been spending the town's funds
the proof bein' their mark on bill sheets

[verse]
when Twi calls out
applejack comes to a stop 
Twi's trying to explain to her
when the new mayors walk up 

dressed up in their finery 
wonderin' what's going on
Twi stabs an angry hoof
asking if all the funds had been withdrawn

[verse]
puttin' two and two together
with Twi's half-done splainin'
and the fancy clothes 
right in fron' of her
ayjay shouts out
to the ponies clamorin' 'round
that both mayors been dippin' their hooves 
in the town's fixin' fund

[verse]
both mayors squirm
while rooted to the spot
not answerin' the question
despite already been caught
Twi gives Spike the word
not caring for both mayors disregard 
he sends a quick letter to the Princess
with a reply she's turnin' out the guard

[verse]

with the townsponies lookin' mighty sore
and the guards on their way
the mayors decide its time
they made their quick getaway 
with the brothers found out, 
and on the run from the law
Mayor Mare's re-elected and her first act
is to end the cider ban for evermore!
