Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Thomas and James are racing, racing to the Wharf
Everyone likes to be the first not second, third or fourth
Pistons pumping wildly, boilers fit to burst
There's something really special for the engine who comes first
[Verse 2]
Steaming through the countryside, imagine their elation
Speeding past the platforms and they're not stopping at the station
Racing under bridges and then rattling 'round the bends
A very special prize awaits the winner when it ends
[Verse 3]
Thomas and James are racing, racing to the Wharf
Everyone likes to be the first not second, third or fourth
Pistons pumping wildly, boilers fit to burst
There's something really special for the engine who comes first
[Verse 4]
Children on the bridges, waving as they both rush by
Going so fast, if trains had wings you'd think they'd start to fly
Wheeshing and then whooshing, oh, but what's this up ahead?
It can't be true, they'll have to stop, the signal's turned to red
[Verse 5]
Come on, come on, I'll win this race
I'll take a rest and set the pace
He's out of puff, he's out of steam
Hooray, hooray, the signal's green
[Verse 6]
Thomas and James are racing, racing to the Wharf
Everyone likes to be the first not second, third or fourth
Pistons pumping wildly, boilers fit to burst
There's something really special for the engine who comes first
[Verse 7]
Steaming through the countryside, imagine their elation
Speeding past the platforms and they're not stopping at the station
Racing under bridges and then rattling 'round the bends
A very special prize awaits the winner when it ends
[Verse 8]
Thomas and James are racing, racing to the Wharf
Everyone likes to be the first not second, third or fourth
Pistons pumping wildly, boilers fit to burst
There's something really special for the engine who comes first
[Verse 9]
Thomas and James are racing, racing to the Wharf
Everyone likes to be the first not second, third or fourth
Pistons pumping wildly, boilers fit to burst
There's something really special for the engine who comes first
[Verse 10]
There's something really special for the engine who comes first
