"Generosity" is the third song of season four of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, featured in the 8th episode "Rarity Takes Manehattan".
This song serves as Rarity's love letter to the city of Manehattan and also showcases her generous spirit.
This song, along with the scene it's played in, appears again in A-Dressing Memories.
According to Daniel Ingram, this song is "intended as a modern interpretation of a Big Band style song to evoke a feeling of old New York/Frank Sinatra nostalgia."
Lyrics[]
Rarity: Oh, Manehattan, what you do to me
Such a huge bustling community
And there's always opportunity
To do the friendly thing
If some are grouchy, pay no mind
Surprise instead with something kind
Lo and behold, you may just find
A smile is what you bring
Bellhop: Welcome to the Manefair Hotel! Please allow me to take those bags to your room for you!
Rarity: Only if you'll accept this gratuity first.
Bellhop: Oh-ho-ho! I'll get your change!
Rarity: Do keep it all. I insist!
Rarity: Generosity, I'm here to show all that I can give
Generosity, I'm here to set the bar
Just sit back and watch how I live
Rarity: After you.
Tourist Pony 1: Why, thank you.
Rarity: Please, take mine.
Wisp: Wow, okay.
Rarity: Some may say, "Rarity,
Don't be so big-hearted and bold
Treating strangers like they're friends
This town's too big and cold"
But this is how I play my cards
I'm not about to fold
Where I see a frown, I go to town
Call me the smile patrol
Rainbow Dash: Oh, Manehattan, what you do to us
Fluttershy: What if you find a Gloomy Gus?
Applejack: It's no intimidatin' thing
Pinkie Pie: Just be kind without a fuss
Rarity:
Generosity, I'm here to show all that I can do
Generosity, you are the key
Manehattan, I'm here just for you
Just for you
