Racing to the Wharf
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
Steaming through the countryside
Imagine their elation
Speeding past the platforms
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
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
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
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
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
Steaming through the countryside
Imagine their elation
Speeding past the platforms
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
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
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
There's something really special
For the engine who comes first
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
Steaming through the countryside
Imagine their elation
Speeding past the platforms
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
Thomas and James are racing

Boilers fit to burst
There's something really special
For the engine who comes first
There's something really special
For the engine who comes first
