Generosity (song)

Generosity is the third song of season four of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, featured in the eighth 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." Ingram has an uncredited cameo as the pony whom Rarity gave her scarf to. The song serves as the second track on the soundtrack album Songs of Harmony. The album version combines the original and the reprise into one track. The song has also been released as a sing-along on the DVD My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Season Four Disc 4.
The first line of this song is referenced by Rarity in Made in Manehattan. An instrumental version of the song is used in the first three levels of Hasbro's online game Key Crusaders, as well as on the Rarity-themed levels of My Little Pony: Puzzle Party.

:[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
:"Luggage Cart": 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.
:"Luggage Cart": Oh-ho-ho! I'll get your change!
:Rarity: Do keep it all. I insist!

::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

::Oh, Manehattan, what you do to us
:[Fluttershy]
::What if you find a Gloomy Gus?
:[Applejack]

::Just be kind without a fuss

::Just for you

:[Rarity]
::Oh, Manehattan, what have I done?
::The thought of Fashion Week was fun
::But I went way too far
::My friends gave to me in ways so kind
::And I gave them nothing but a hard time
::And now alone I stand
::And now alone I stand
