It's Gonna be a Great Day (also known as Special Day) is a song from the 2013 special, King of the Railway. It aired on TV in the US during Just Being Yourself, with episodes Scruff's Makeover and Wayward Winston on PBS Kids.

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
