The Hottest Place in Town

The Hottest Place in Town is the third song featured in Journey Beyond Sodor.

Lyrics

Frankie: You mustn't worry about going to the goods yard tonight. Uncouple those trucks/cars.

Hurricane: Leave them here in the yard! We'll look after them for you, Thomas! No problemo!

Frankie: Yes! Come on inside, we'll keep you nice and warm!

Hurricane: This is the hottest place in town! (laughs)

Frankie: I don't know where you thought you were going,

But here you are!

Hurricane: I don't know what you thought you were doing,

But you've come so far!

This is the place you were meant to be being!

Frankie: These are the sights you were meant to be seeing!

Hurricane: We'll lift your thermostat up

A degreeing or two

Hurricane and Frankie: And we're guaranteeing

That you'll be agreeing it's true (Hurricane: Woo!)

This is the hottest place in town

We'll warm you up when you're feeling down

We'll make a smile out of every frown

Hurricane: Just take a look around

At the joy we've found!

Hurricane and Frankie: This is the place you can have some fun!

Where you can feel like a number one!

We've got more sunshine than the sun!

Frankie: There's a light in our eyes

We simply can't disguise

Hurricane and Frankie: This is the hottest place in town!

(Hurricane: Yeah!) Come in and come along for the riding

Shunting lovely ladle trucks (cars in US dub) up the sidings

Rails so smooth that you'll be gliding along

And before you know it you'll be joining us in our song

This is the hottest place in town (Hurricane: Woo!)

No other like it anywhere around

You'll be king and you'll wear a crown (Hurricane: I say)

What we're trying to say

Is that we hope you'll stay

This is the place you can shine like gold!

Our jobs are cool but we're never cold!

We really think you could fit the mould!

Frankie: You'll be part of the team

You'll be living the dream

Hurricane and Frankie: This is the hottest place in town

Come in and come along for the riding

Shunting lovely ladle trucks (cars in US dub) up the sidings

Hurricane: Rails so smooth that you'll be gliding along

And before you know it you'll be joining us in our song!

Thomas: This is the hottest place in town (Frankie: Yeah!) (Hurricane: You know it!)

You'll warm me up when I'm feeling down

You'll make a smile out of every frown (Frankie: You've got it!)

Hurricane: You know you're keeping it real

When you're working with steel

Thomas: This is the place I can have some fun! (Hurricane: That's it, Thomas!) (Frankie: Woo!)

Where I can feel like number one

I've got more sunshine than the sun (Hurricane: You're number one!) (Frankie: Yeah!)

Frankie: There's no looking back now!

You're on the right track now!

Frankie, Hurricane, and Thomas: This is the hottest place in town!

• Thomas switched junctions immediately before Frankie and Hurricane sang “rails so smooth that you’ll be gliding along’. However, he just shunted Ladle Trucks on the other junction area.
