Don't Stop

Don't Stop is a song from the twenty-third series episode, Steam Team to the Rescue! The first verse plays as the steam engines perform various jobs on the railway in place of the incapacitated diesels. A reprise is heard as the Steam Team help sort out the trouble at the docks.
== Lyrics ==
: Thomas: Don't stop, keep on moving!
: Steam's hot, it keeps us cruising!
: Helping each other every day!
: With extra loads of cargo
: Moving up and down the tracks!
: We're grunting and we're shunting
: There's no time to relax!
: Thomas and Henry: We have to keep on keeping on
: Like a well-oiled machine!
: Thomas: With the diesels out of action
: Thomas and Rebecca: There's no time for daydreams!
: Thomas, Nia, Annie and Clarabel: Don't stop! Let's work together!
: 'Cause our steam's hot! We'll go on forever!
: There's nothing standing in our way!
: Rebecca: (spoken) It's not even noon and I'm already exhausted!
: Thomas: (spoken) Keep going! You're doing great!
: James: (spoken) Looks like it's another trip to the washdown for me!
: Thomas: We're doing our best!
: Thomas and Rebecca: We work as a team!
: Thomas, James and Rebecca: We don't stop to rest!
: Thomas, James, Emily and Rebecca: We've got the power of steam!
: All: Don't stop! Keep on moving!
: Steam's hot! It keeps us cruising!
: Helping each other every day!
: Don't stop! Let's work together!
: 'Cause our steam's hot! We'll go on forever!
: There's nothing standing in our way!
: No not today! No not today!
: There's nothing in our way!
: No not today! And we won't stop!

== Trivia ==
* This is the first series-original song to be sung by the characters in a television series episode.
* Unlike Big World! Big Adventures!, Yvonne Grundy, who performs as Nia's speaking voice, sings in this song, while in Big World! Big Adventures!, Patricia Kihoro performed Nia's singing roles.
* Stanley was the only Steam Team member (current or former) to not sing in the song. Likewise, Caitlin and Luke were the only non-Steam Team engines to sing it.
== Goofs ==
* In the UK version, James has his US voice when he starts singing and Henry's US voice can be heard after he and Gordon sing "Helping each other every day".
