Let's Have a Race

Let's Have a Race is a fourth season song 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
 * And 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
 * And 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
 * And 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
 * And 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
