Lyrics
- Here comes Thomas, he's on a run
- He's on the rails, he's having fun
- Everyday there's something new
- Friends to see and things to do
- Percy, Gordon, Henry too
- Everyone has a job it's true
- They have to hurry, you can't delay
- All the engines on time today
- Woah oh, oh
- Let's go, we're on our way
- Woah oh, oh
- On a journey today
- Woah oh, oh
- Thomas can take us there
- Woah oh, oh
- As long as we have the fare!
- Thomas can take us there!
- Change the signal, change the points
- Oil the pistons and all the joints
- All the engines in tip-top shape
- Let's get them going, they can't be late
- Here comes Thomas down the track
- Around the corner, he'll soon be back
- Chug and puff, the tracks are clear
- Clang and hoot, the station's near
- Woah oh, oh
- Let's go, we're on our way
- Woah oh, oh
- On a journey today
- Woah oh, oh
- Thomas can take us there
- Woah oh, oh
- As long as we have the fare!
- Thomas can take us there!
- Woah oh, oh
- Let's go, we're on our way
- Woah oh, oh
- On a journey today
- Woah oh, oh
- Thomas can take us there
- Woah oh, oh
- We're on a journey today
- All aboard!

Trivia
- The non-chorus verses have a very similar tune to the nursery rhyme "Jack be nimble" sped up.
- It was listed as "On a Journey" when released on the US Nick Jr. website.
- The Nick Jr. website later released a version of this song with additional sound effects and extra dialogue of Thomas laughing with Joseph May voicing him.
- This is the fifth song to use footage from one season. The others being Thomas' Anthem, The Narrow Gauge Engines, Roll Along & Hey, Hey Thomas.
Goofs
- When aired on Nick Jr. between Unscheduled Stops and Springtime for Diesel, the first few seconds were missing due to a commercial break, along with commercials interrupting the song.
- The last line of the official sing-along says "On a journey today", but Mike Ferfolia can be heard singing "We're on a journey today".
