Something I’ve often kicked around in my head is what an advantage the internet is for general knowledge. Like, if you don’t know how to tie a tie you couldn’t just google it, information had to be passed down. I mean, most people in the 1400s barely knew how to swim! Makes sense. They’ve never seen Ice Age 2 With that I actually came up with the concept for this song and wrote the lyrics as my very first song. But everytime I’d make progress to put it together I just felt it was too silly and quit the project. Happy to finally release this quirky little ditty 3-4 months later with Koolaid playing the part of the foalish earth pony. Also I’m at ciderfest if you see me come say hi!!!

Chorus1 How do ya carry a sword as an earth pony Do ya hold the hilt between your teeth or grab it with your knee? How am I expected to fight on land and sea And how do you carry a sword as an earth pony V2 Well my first trip around I knew that somethin' wasn't right I can't look out, can't hold a rope, or produce natural light The captain takes one look at me, and he begins to say "If ya can't keep up you'll be sent to sea in far less than a day!" Chorus2 How do I hoist the sails as an earth pony I grip the rope between my teeth but it slips out constantly How am I expected to survive out here at sea And how do I hoist the sails as an earth pony Bridge Tried it all from bow to stern I'm workin' day and night I did my best but I'm concerned I'll never get things right I'm loyal and I'm honest yes, I'm kind and funny too I'll overcome and make this work there must be something I can do! ChorusX2 I think I can be a pirate as an earth pony I know how to cook and how to heal with natural remedies I can even fix the very boards that separate us from the sea Maybe this ol' ship could use an earth pony Hey! Look at me I'm proud to be an earth pony The crew can use my expertise and they like meals cooked for free I found a way to make it out here on the open sea I'm proud to be a pirate, and an earth pony.
