Let's Have a Race is a song from the fourth season dedicated to Thomas and Bertie's race.
Lyrics
- A lesson that's worth learning
- One you never should forget
- Is the art of friendly rivalry
- It's not always about winning
- You must learn that from the start
- Enjoy yourself remember
- What counts is taking part
CHORUS:
- Let's have a race, have a race, have a race
- Let's see who is the quickest
- Who can be the fastest
- On your marks, now get set, go
- Let's set a pace, set a pace, set a pace
- Let's see if you can catch me
- Let's see if you can match me so
- Let's have a race, have a race
- Thomas challenged Bertie
- To a friendly race one day
- The driver said get ready
- But be careful on the way
- The friends lined up together
- Enjoying the fun
- The stationmaster called out
- Are you ready to begin
CHORUS:
- Let's have a race, have a race, have a race
- Let's see who is the quickest
- Who can be the fastest
- On your marks, now get set, go
- Let's set a pace, set a pace, set a pace
- Let's see if you can catch me
- Let's see if you can match me so
- Let's have a race, have a race
- Bertie bus was winning
- He sped along the way
- Thomas tried so hard
- To catch up on the way
- Eventually he passed him
- And Bertie had to say
- To pass you on that hill Thomas
- I'd need wings like an airplane
CHORUS:
- Let's have a race, have a race, have a race
- Let's see who is the quickest
- Who can be the fastest
- On your marks, now get set, go
- Let's set a pace, set a pace, set a pace
- Let's see if you can catch me
- Let's see if you can match me so
- Let's have a race, have a race
- Let's have a race, have a race, have a race
- Let's see who is the quickest
- Who can be the fastest
- Ready, set go
- Let's set a pace, set a pace, set a pace
- Let's see if you can catch me
- Let's see if you can match me so
- Let's have a race, have a race
- Let's have a race
- Let's have a race
- Right now
