Lyrics
Thomas: You can overheat! Your boiler could blow up!
 * Gordon: Oh Thomas, will you stop your whining?
 * There’s no other engine I won’t be outshining
 * Too late,
 * I’ve got a date!
 * Streamlining!


 * Whoosh!
 * The Shooting Star is coming through!
 * Whoosh!
 * Give up, there’s nothing you can do!
 * Whoosh!
 * Cause all you’ll ever see of me
 * Will be a shining streak of racing blue!


 * My clouds today all have a silver lining
 * I’ll see my bossy brother get some undermining
 * Cause I’m the cream,
 * The best in steam,
 * Streamlining!
 * Oh...

Announcer: Étienne and Spencer are still holding the lead, but after a late start, the Shooting Star is coming up from behind!

Flying Scotsman: Gordon! Gordon!

Gordon: That's NOT my name!

Flying Scotsman: You have to stop! Listen to me, Gordon! There's something wrong!

Gordon: I can't stop, I WON'T stop!

Announcer: I don't know what's happening, but... it looks like the Shooting Star is having some kind of trouble!


 * Gordon: Whoosh!
 * The Shooting Star is coming through...!
 * Whoosh!
 * Give up, there’s nothing you can do...!

Announcer: I think it's all over!
 * Gordon: Whoosh!
 * Cause all you’ll see of me...
 * Will be-!
 * Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!
 * Oh!!!

Announcer: And now his boiler has burst! He's going down! And The Shooting Star is out of the race! What a tragedy! Gordon: Oh, the indignity...
