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!
### Reprise

**All:** Don't stop! Keep on moving!
The Steam Team! Keeps on cruising!
Helping each other every day!
When a best friend is in trouble
None of us will rest!
Engines helping engines
Using every ounce that's left!
Pushing to the finish line
Yeah, we'll keep on keeping on!
When the Steam Team works together
We're always pulling strong!
Don't stop! Let's work together!
Because our steam's hot! We'll go on forever!
There's nothing standing in our way!
**Thomas:** (spoken) Percy, I'm so sorry I didn't come to help you sooner like I promised!
**Percy:** (spoken) No worries, Thomas! I forgive you!
**All:** We're not giving up!
Gonna see this long day through!
The moon lights our way
Until the end is in view!
Don't stop! Keep on moving!
The Steam Team! Keeps on cruising!
Helping each other every day!
Don't stop! Let's work together!
We're the Steam Team! 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!
### Thomas and Twilight Sparkle's Adventures of The Snail and The Whale

**All:** Don't stop! Keep on moving!
The Adventures Team! Keeps on cruising!
Helping each other every day!
When the humpback whale's in trouble
None of us will rest!
Everyone helping animals
Using every ounce that's left!
Pushing to the finish line
Yeah, we'll keep on keeping on!
When everyone works together
We're always pulling strong!
Don't stop! Let's work together!
Because our steam's hot! We'll go on forever!
There's nothing standing in our way!

**All:** We're not giving up!
Gonna see this long day through!
The sun lights our way
Until the end is in view!
Don't stop! Keep on moving!
The Adventures Team! Keeps on cruising!
Helping each other every day!
Don't stop! Let's work together!
We're the Adventures Team! We'll go on forever!
