Come for the Ride

Come for the Ride is a song from the fifth season.

Lyrics

 * All your friends on the railway would like you all to see
 * Just how much fun rockin' on the railway can be
 * So won't you come along and join them for the ride
 * Just hang on tight, catch your breath and come for the ride!

CHORUS:


 * Rockin', rockin' on the railway, Rollin', rollin' on the railway
 * Movin', movin' down the line, Swingin', sway from side to side
 * They'll be rockin' an' a-rollin' won't you come for the ride of your life


 * Watch Duncan go, he can really rock 'n' roll
 * He can slip, he can slide, he can sway from side to side
 * So when you hear him coming and you hear his whistle blow
 * You'd better step aside 'cause he can go go go!

CHORUS:


 * Rockin', rockin' on the railway, Rollin', rollin' on the railway
 * Movin', movin' down the line, Swingin', sway from side to side
 * They'll be rockin' an' a-rollin' won't you come for the ride of your life


 * Now we're really moving, movin' to an' fro
 * Everyone around shouting "More! More! More!"
 * Can't get enough, can't get enough of these thrills
 * And just when you think you can't take any more
 * You'd better hang on tight 'cause here we go again
 * Slip slide come for the ride!

CHORUS:


 * Rockin', rockin' on the railway, Rollin', rollin' on the railway
 * Movin', movin' down the line, Swingin', sway from side to side
 * They'll be rockin' an' a-rollin' won't you come for the ride of your life


 * Now Gordon's in a hurry, 'cause Thomas made him wait
 * We'll have to go much faster, we really can't be late
 * Soon the coach was rockin', it swayed from side to side
 * With the bath water spillin' and a-splashin' inside


 * Rockin', rockin' on the railway, Rollin', rollin' on the railway
 * Movin', movin' down the line, Swingin', sway from side to side
 * They'll be rockin' an' a-rollin' an' a-reelin' on the railway tonight

CHORUS:


 * Rockin', rockin' on the railway, Rollin', rollin' on the railway
 * Movin', movin' down the line, Swingin', sway from side to side
 * They'll be rockin' an' a-rollin' won't you come for the ride of your life
 * They'll be rockin' an' a-rollin' won't you come for the ride of your life
 * They'll be rockin' an' a-rollin' won't you come for the ride of your life
 * Come for the ride!
