It's Gonna be a Great Day (also known as Special Day) is a song from the 2013 special, King of the Railway.
Lyrics
- Rock and roll, click-clack
- Steaming down the track
- The fun just never ends
- Every day's a good good day
- For Thomas and his friends
- Steady, steady, steady
- Everybody's getting ready
- The Steam Team leads the way
- It's a very special day
- It's getting better and better
- Now everybody say hey!
- It's gonna be a great day
- Rocking and a rolling, they're riding the rails
- In the noon day light
- Shunting and a hauling freight
- They don't wanna be late
- They wanna do what's right
- Weesh-Weesh, Whoo-Whoo
- They know what they have to do
- They are a useful crew
- It's a very special day
- It's getting better and better
- Now everybody say hey!
- It's gonna be a great day
- Weesh, Weesh, Whoo-Whoo
- They know what they have to do
- They are a useful crew
- It's a very special day
- It's getting better and better
- Now everybody say hey!
- It's gonna be a great day
- Now it's a very special day
- It's getting better and better
- Now everybody say hey!
- It's gonna be a great day
- It's a very special day
- It's getting better and better
- Now everybody say hey!
- It's gonna be a great day
- It's gonna be a great day

Trivia
- The original version was slightly different than the final:
- The arrangement is slightly different and longer.
- "Rock and roll, click-clack. Steaming down the track" and "Every day's a good good day" were "Chugga-chugga, click-clack. Rolling down the track" and "Something big is on the way."
- Joe Phillips sang the whole song, rather than Blewitt with other singers.
- Auto-tune appears to be used in this version.
- A deleted scene shows Sir Robert Norramby applauding to Jack and Thomas for saving Stephen.
- In the K.NET Korean version of King of the Railway, it plays the instrumental version.
