Don't Judge a Book By its Cover

"Don't Judge a Book by it's Cover" is a song from the fourth season, dedicated to Thomas and Terence and the episode "Thomas, Terence and the Snow". It also uses footage from other fourth season episodes, mainly "Toad Stands By". The song is based on Terence's theme.

Lyrics
Thomas first saw Terence the Tractor

Plowing 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 that you...

Chorus:

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 that you...

(Chorus)

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 judge a book by its cover.
