Lyrics[]

Trucks: Wake up!
(Thomas!)
Wake up!
It's such a lovely day
(Thomas!)
You've got a job to do
(Cheer up!)
Maybe you don't wanna do it but hey, hey, hey
(Wake up!)
If you wanna be happy
(Choo choo!)
Tell me what's stopping you!
(Wake up!)
When you're grumpy
You're in your own way!
Nia: There's oh so much to discover
If you open your eyes
You might even uncover
Your own smile!
Do you really want to be stormy?
Always under a cloud?
Just be happy and go the extra mile!
Nia and the Trucks: Wake up!
Don't be a silly choo choo!
Cheer up!
There's so many things to try
Wake up!
The world is all around you!
As big as the beautiful sky
Don't let the world pass you by
Si lazima dunia kupita wewe na
Nia: A bad mood is like a blindfold
It covers up your eyes
(Trucks join in): It makes the world around you dark as night
Just shake it off
And turn your mood around
You can do it if you try
And see it all in a new light
Wake up!
(Don't be so grumpy, Thomas!)
Cheer up!
(The sun is in the sky!)
Wake up!
(Don't be so grumpy, Thomas!)
Or else the world goin' pass you by
Don't let the world pass you by
Si lazima dunia kupita wewe na
Thomas: Wake up!
Nia: Don't be so grumpy, Thomas!
Thomas, Nia and the Trucks: Cheer up!
There's so many things to try!
Wake up!
The world is all around you!
As big as the beautiful sky
Don't let the world pass you by
Si lazima dunia kupita wewe na
