Streamlining

Streamlining is the second song featured in The Great Race. It is sung by Thomas. The song is reprised by Gordon later in the film as The Shooting Star Is Coming Through.

Lyrics

 * All I want is a bit of redefining
 * A slinky, slicker, swifter coat that's smooth and shining
 * To get the speed I really need...
 * Streamlining!


 * Whoosh!
 * You'll wonder who was passing through
 * Whoosh!
 * You won't believe it's even true
 * Whoosh!
 * But all you'll see of me will be...
 * A shiny streak of racing blue!


 * I've come to you, my friend
 * As I need some redesigning
 * To be a tank engine is so confining
 * Give me the curves I deserve...
 * Streamlining!
 * (giggles)


 * Wo-how!
 * (gasps) Amazing!
 * Wow!
 * I love it!


 * Whoosh!
 * You'll wonder who was passing through (Passing through)
 * Whoosh!
 * You won't believe it's even true (Even true)
 * Whoosh!
 * But all you'll see of me will be... (Do, do, do-do)
 * A shiny streak of racing blue!
 * (giggles)


 * (Go, Thomas, go)
 * (Go, Thomas, go)


 * All I want is a little redefining (Do, do-do-do)
 * But certain other engines might be reconsigning (Do, do-do-do)
 * I'll get a shape that makes 'em gape (Do, do-do-do)
 * (Go, Thomas, go)
 * I'll have the curves that I deserve (Do, do-do-do)
 * (Go, Thomas, go)
 * I'll get the speed I really need... (Do, do-do-do)
 * (Go, Thomas, go)
 * Streamlining!
 * Whoaaaaaa!!!
