Lyrics:
Flim: [echoing] Welcome, friends! You are about to embark on a journey of amazing magnitude! One that will change your lives forever!
Flam: [echoing] Prepare yourselves to embrace a new path and become students of...
Flim and Flam: Friendship U!
Twilight Sparkle: Flim and Flam. Of course.
If you're alone and you can't make friends
We understand your plight
Until now, there was just one way
Your friendships could take flight
There is a school real far away
That'll teach you what to know
But if you live here, you couldn't stay
You'd learn you have to go-o-o-o (Awww...)
Now, there is an alternative to all of that adversity
Not just a school, I'll have you know
But a whole university
At Friendship U, our aim is true
In a city, not some backwater
You'll learn the things you need to know
At our new alma mater
Flim: That's it, everypony, you heard correct!
Flam: Friendship U, the one and only university of friendship!
As you can see, we're a success
By any kind of stat
That may be so, for all I know
But I still smell a rat
Everypony, lookie here
That other school's headmare
Her presence is a testament
To the mutual respect we sha-a-a-are
Twilight Sparkle: What?! No, it isn't!
It really is the final piece
To make our work complete
To have the Friendship Princess
Bless our school is such a treat
#
At Friendship U, we teach to you (and you!)
All of our friendship knowledge
You'll learn it all in half the time
At the one and only friendship college
Twilight Sparkle: How can anypony learn friendship in half the time?
Flam: Our coursework is so accelerated, to take longer would be a crime!
The lessons that we teach have been
Reviewed and checked and edited
Which might explain why our new school's
About to be accredited
At Friendship U, oh, yes, it's true
Even the Princess of Friendship agrees
The only place in Equestria
To give out friendship degrees
Yeah!
Friendship U!
Friendship U!
Friendship U!
Friendship U!
Friendship U!
Friendship U!
Flim: That's it, everypony! Let's hear it! Tell us again why it's the best!
It's the only university of Friendship U!*
Yeah!
