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

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


BRIDGE:

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!

Trivia

  • Most of the footage is sped up.
  • The UK VHS, Happy Holidays, the Japanese, Spanish and original versions of this music video show an extended shot of Percy puffing out of Knapford pulling the post train from Thomas, Percy and the Post Train and an extended shot from Tender Engines with Thomas, Percy, Henry and Duck puffing around the three-arched bridge.
  • A version without subtitles can be seen only in the UK VHS, Happy Holidays.
  • Stock footage from Night Train is used.
  • On the Thomas' Train Yard Tracks release of this song, Michael Angelis can be heard saying "What an adventure!" in the introduction. This was because the fifth series songs on this album and Thomas' Songs & Roundhouse Rhythms were reused from Surprise Adventures.
  • In both Japanese and Spanish versions, the Guard's whistle at the beginning is longer.

Goofs

  • The lyrics "and you hear his whistle blow," quickly changes to "and you 'here' his whistle blow," before the lyrics fade. Duncan also has Skarloey's whistle sound following these lyrics.
