Don't Judge a Book By its Cover

Don't Judge a Book By Its Cover is a song from the fourth season based on Terence's theme.

Lyrics

 * Thomas first saw Terence the Tractor
 * Ploughing in a field one day
 * And he said, "My oh my, you do look funny.
 * Where are your wheels, are your wheels, are your wheels?
 * How ever do you move along?
 * You really do look funny."


 * "Don't be so rude", said Terence the Tractor
 * "I don't have wheels like you
 * Because my caterpillar tracks are so much better.
 * And I can go anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
 * I don't need rails like you.
 * One day I will prove it, show you how I do it
 * Then you will understand..."


 * (Chorus)


 * That you don't judge a book by its cover
 * Don't make your mind up too soon
 * Things aren't necessarily
 * Always what they appear to be
 * Don't judge a book by its cover
 * Don't make your mind up too soon
 * Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never
 * Never judge a book by its cover.


 * Sure enough, one winter's day
 * When the snow lay deep and hard
 * Thomas got stuck, he was in trouble
 * And who do you think came along, came along
 * And rescued him that day
 * The snow didn't matter to Terence the Tractor
 * Now Thomas understands...


 * (Chorus)


 * That you don't judge a book by its cover
 * Don't make your mind up too soon
 * Things aren't necessarily
 * Always what they appear to be
 * Don't judge a book by its cover
 * Don't make your mind up too soon
 * Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never
 * Never judge a book by its cover.


 * Don't judge a book by its cover
 * Don't make your mind up too soon
 * Things aren't necessarily
 * Always what they appear to be.
 * Don't judge a book by its cover
 * Just remember the rule
 * Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never
 * Never judge a book...
 * By its cover!
