Lyrics (adapted from MLP wiki):
I wanted to get you
Something oh, so rare
A gift to show I care
But nothing can compare
To you, [it's] easy to see
But I got stressed and overthought
Until the day was shot
And it was all for naught
But now it's clear to me
I'm not gifted at gifting
It's really pretty sad
I tried to show I care
But it turned out bad
I'm not gifted at gifting
So all that's left to say
Is that I really hope my gifting
Didn't ruin your holiday
Rarity: Oh, Spike. A song is a lovely present.

Pinkie Pie: [What was it the Gift Giver said to me?] The best gift is more precious than gold, but it cannot be sold. When it breaks, it's not ended, for quickly it's mended. It can never be bought, yet [it's easily sold!]
Twilight Sparkle: (giggles)
Pinkie Pie: What's so funny?
Twilight Sparkle: It's a riddle, and the answer is "friendship"!
The most magical gift
That I can recall
[They] could've been big or small
Or even nothing at all
It doesn't matter, you see
If it's from my [amazing] friends on whom I depend
No matter what you spend
It will be perfect to me
The true gift of gifting
Is what it means inside
We can show we care
Spreading love far and wide
The true gift of gifting
Is totally free
And you're the best there is at givin' it
With the friendship that you give to me
We've all been friends forever
[It seems] how far we've come (how far we've come)
The holiday brings us close
And now it's time for fun (#)
