Lyrics

Thomas: (spoken) I'm sorry I took your trucks, James. I know you wanted to be the one to bring them to the mainland.
James: (spoken) And I'm sorry about teasing you. I'm not really anyone's favourite engine. If anyone's the favourite, Thomas, it's probably you.
Thomas: Don't be silly, James!
Nobody has to be the favourite
It's not a competition in the end
It doesn't matter if you prove that you're the very best
But what will happen when you put your friendship to the test
Never mind about who is the favourite
The most important thing is being friends!
Thomas and James: The most important thing is being friends!
Theo and Lexi: Everybody can help! Everybody join in! When everybody has a part to play
Hurricane: Then everybody can win!
Theo, Lexi, Merlin and Frankie: Everybody can help!
Red, green, yellow or blue!
When you're ready to try
You'll find out what you can do!
Thomas, James and Beresford: Everybody can help!
What I'm saying is true!
When you give it a try
You'll find out what you can do!
Thomas and James: Nobody has to be the favourite
It's not a competition in the end
It doesn't matter if you prove
That you're the very best
But what will happen when you
Put your friendship to the test
Thomas, James and Trevor: Never mind about
Who is the favourite
The most important thing
is being friends
Thomas and James: Nobody has to be the favourite
(Everybody can help)
It's not a competition in the end
(Everybody join in)
The Steam Team (excluding Henry) and the Fat Controller: It doesn't matter if you prove
That you're the very best
Gordon: Everybody can win!
The Steam Team: But what will happen when you
Put your friendship to the test
Hurricane: Never mind about who is the favourite
Theo, Frankie, Hurricane, Merlin and Lexi: The most important thing
is being friends!
The Steam Team: The most important thing
is being friends!
Henry: (spoken) What did I miss?
