There Once was a Pony who Ran Away

There Once was a Pony who Ran Away is a song from Spike the Dragon and Friends. It is a parody of the Thomas and Friends song, There Once was an Engine who Ran Away.

Lyrics
There once was a pony who ran away,

Just up and went,

And ran away, ran away.

Stacked up his tail, and headed down the path,

Toot toot, farewell, goodbye!

He overheard the wicked old Discord say,

He was heading for the scrapyard any day.

He didn't wanna wait for the fateful day.

So the little old pony ran away.

He huffed and he puffed, his hooves started moving,

He chuffed and he chuffed, his little body running,

He slipped his brake, let his whistle fly,

Toot toot, farewell, goodbye!

And the little old pony ran away,

Just up and went,

And ran away, ran away.

Didn't feel part of Ponyville,

So the little old pony ran away.

(instrumental)

And when the other animals heard he'd gone,

They felt so sad, 'cos they knew he had gone and gone.

No matter what Discord had to say,

Hoity Toity has the final say.

So he thought and he thought,

Where could he be, could he go?

Some searched high, the others searched low.

Where did he run, where did he go?

We gotta bring the little pony home.

So they all went out to look around,

Far and wide, and up and down

No matter where they searched, no one seemed to know

Oh where did the little old pony go?

Spike finally tracked him down,

He was cold and blue, and all alone.

He told him he was needed back urgently.

"Who me, really?"

"Yes you, you silly pony!"

'Cos he's the pride of Ponyville!

So he huffed and he puffed,

His hooves started moving,

He chuffed and he chuffed his little body running,

He slipped his brake and he was on his way,

Toot toot, hip hip, hooray!

Now the little old pony's heading home,

To toots and cheers, hear the whistles blow.

'Cos now he's the pride of Ponyville!

"Look everybody! Here comes Lucky Clover!"

"Hooray!"

Yes the little old pony's coming home!
