## Lyrics

Come on a journey
With Thomas and Friends
All around the world and then back again
Big new adventures for all to see (Come on!)
So much to discover in each country
We’ll go to China, Australia, Spain, Peru! (Yeah!)
Kenya, Mexico, the whole world through!
Check out the pandas, koalas, kangaroos
With Thomas and his friends, the journey never ends! (Let's go!)
Travel the world with curiosity (Let's go!)
Jump on board there's so much to see (Come on!)
Country to country let's explore them all
They're all so different, some big some small
We'll go to India, Poland, Germany too! (Let's go!)
Egypt, Italy, the whole world through!
Check out the lions, elephants, zebras too!
With Thomas and his friends, the journey never ends (Let's go!) (Yeah!)
With Thomas and his friends (Thomas and his friends!)
We'll go to Russia,[United States|America, Japan too!
France, Brazil, the whole world through!
Check out the tigers, crocodiles, monkeys too!
With Thomas and his friends, the journey never ends (Yeah!)
Woah-oh-oh-oh!
Thomas and his friends
Woah-oh-oh-oh!
We'll travel the world end to end!
Woah-oh-oh-oh!
The adventure's just begun
With Thomas and his friends
The journey never ends!
