Lyrics

 * All I want is a bit of redefining
 * A slinky, slicker, swifter coat that's smooth and shining
 * To get the speed I really need...
 * Streamlining!


 * Whoosh!
 * You'll wonder who was passing through
 * Whoosh!
 * You won't believe it's even true
 * Whoosh!
 * But all you'll see of me will be...
 * A shiny streak of racing blue!


 * I've come to you, my friend
 * As I need some redesigning
 * To be a tank engine is so confining
 * Give me the curves I deserve...
 * Streamlining!
 * (giggles)


 * Wo-how!
 * (gasps) Amazing!
 * Wow!
 * I love it!


 * Whoosh!
 * You'll wonder who was passing through (Passing through)
 * Whoosh!
 * You won't believe it's even true (Even true)
 * Whoosh!
 * But all you'll see of me will be... (Do, do, do-do)
 * A shiny streak of racing blue!
 * (giggles)


 * (Go, Thomas, go)
 * (Go, Thomas, go)


 * All I want is a little redefining (Do, do-do-do)
 * But certain other engines might be reconsigning (Do, do-do-do)
 * I'll get a shape that makes 'em gape (Do, do-do-do)
 * (Go, Thomas, go)
 * I'll have the curves that I deserve (Do, do-do-do)
 * (Go, Thomas, go)
 * I'll get the speed I really need... (Do, do-do-do)
 * (Go, Thomas, go)
 * Streamlining!
 * Whoaaaaaa!!!
