(Bold and italics indicate the main opening)
James, Percy, Nia, and Gordon,
Rebecca, and Emily and Thomas number one!
Let's go, go, go
On a big world adventure,
Let's go, go, go explore,
With Thomas and his friends!
Let's go, go, go
And meet new friendly faces,
The world's just a train ride away!
Big world, big, big adventures!
Thomas & Friends: Big World! Big Adventures!
Let's discover the world
But where should we begin?
There are so many places
Let's give the globe a spin
You love the hometown that you know
But you want to see some more
It's time to go, go, go
Get ready to explore!
Let's go, go, go
On a big world adventure,
Let's go, go, go explore,
With Thomas and his friends!
Let's go, go, go
And meet new friendly faces,
The world's just a train ride away!
Big world, big, big adventures!
Thomas & Friends: Big World! Big Adventures!
You can chart a new course
It's time to find your way
Just pick a direction
And let the music play!
Talk to people you meet
Discover things you never knew
Amazing sights everywhere you go
Waiting there for you!
Let's go, go, go
On a big world adventure,
Let's go, go, go explore,
With Thomas and his friends!
Let's go, go, go
And meet new friendly faces,
The world's just a train ride away!
Big world, big, big adventures!
Thomas & Friends: Big World! Big Adventures!
'Cos there may be
Twists and turns on the tracks
Keep moving forward
No looking back
Discovering
Each day will bring
Big adventures for you!!
Let's go, go, go
On a big world adventure,
Let's go, go, go explore,
With Thomas and his friends!
Let's go, go, go
And meet new friendly faces,
The world's just a train ride away!
Big world, big, big adventures!
Thomas & Friends: Big World! Big Adventures!
