Differences with the final song:
- Like the concept demo, the piano demo is pitched one full step lower than the final song.
- The first "He's it! Vote for Pip!" is swung rather than straight.
- Another pony (Sweetie Belle?) gets a line retorting Diamond Tiara.
- Apple Bloom omits the word "now" from "Come on now, ponies!".
- Diamond Tiara's "Pip makes promises he can't keep" verse is completely different from the final song.
- Silver Spoon is not cut off by Diamond Tiara (she is still interrupted, though).
- The "against the tyranny" portion travels downward rather than upward.

Lyrics (adapted from MLP wiki):
It's time to make a change
This is our chance
Don't be afraid to do what's right
He's it! Vote for Pip!*

We got an opportunity
To have fun again
A vote for Pip, and you can join the fight

It's time for a new leader
It's time to make a change
We're here to fight for what we believe
(Vote for Pip!)
It's finally time we beat her
And play a better game
'Cause when we vote together
There's nothing that we can't achieve

I don't believe what I am hearing
I'm the only one you should be cheering
Pipsqueak? Try "Pip's weak!" Don't you think?

But a diamond is perfection
It's natural selection
So your vote better be for me, not the weakest link

Apple Bloom: We'll let the voting decide!
[Sweetie Belle?: It's the only fair way!]

Everypony has their little secrets
(I know you do!)
A vote for me will help you keep them safe
(Like your creepy super strength!)

Or your mane extension
A little thing I won't mention
Or those freakish large teeth in your face!

Apple Bloom: Come on #, ponies! Don't listen to her!

You've gotta vote for change
It's time for a new leader
End all the tyranny
Vote now and we can beat her

It's now another day
And we believe in what's right
Vote for Pip! Vote for Pip!
Our victory is in sight

Diamond Tiara: Stop! Everypony who hasn't voted, listen up!

Pip makes promises he can't keep
[
You know what I mean
(A new playground? Who is he kidding?)
While I can give you more
And make every one of your dreams
Come true at last
]

Wouldn't you like a little something sweet?
Here's a parasol to hide you from the heat
Who says that I can't be nice?

But first there's one thing
An itsy-bitsy little string
And voting for me is the price!

I've a tiny suggestion
That you should be aware
You could probably win this election
If you show them all you [really care!]

Diamond Tiara: I don't recall asking you to speak!
All: (gasps)
Sweetie Belle: Well, if that's how you treat your best friend, then I choose Pipsqueak!

(Vote!)
Stand strong and don't (For Pip!) be afraid, ponies
(Vote!) Let's free ourselves from the past
(He's it! Vote for Pip!)*
(Vote!) We'll let honor win out (For Pip!) against the tyranny*
(Vote!) And make a change that will last
(Vote for Pip!)
 
It's time for a new leader
It's time to make a change
We're here to fight for what we believe
(Vote for Pip!)

It's finally time we beat her
And play a better game
'Cause when we vote together
There's nothing that we can't achieve

(Vote for Pip!)
