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.
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.
