Lyrics

 * A lesson that's worth learning
 * One you never should forget
 * Is the art of friendly rivalry
 * It's not always about winning
 * You must learn that from the start
 * Enjoy yourself remember
 * What counts is taking part

CHORUS:


 * Let's have a race, have a race, have a race
 * Let's see who is the quickest
 * Who can be the fastest
 * On your marks, now get set, go!
 * Let's set a pace, set a pace, set a pace
 * Let's see if you can catch me
 * Let's see if you can match me so
 * Let's have a race, have a race


 * Wilson challenged Koko
 * To a friendly race one day
 * The driver said get ready
 * But be careful on the way
 * The friends lined up together
 * Enjoying the fun
 * The stationmaster called out
 * Are you ready to begin

CHORUS:


 * Let's have a race, have a race, have a race
 * Let's see who is the quickest
 * Who can be the fastest
 * On your marks, now get set, go!
 * Let's set a pace, set a pace, set a pace
 * Let's see if you can catch me
 * Let's see if you can match me so
 * Let's have a race, have a race


 * Koko train was winning
 * She sped along the way
 * Wilson tried so hard
 * To catch up on the way
 * Eventually he passed her
 * And Koko had to say
 * To pass you on that hill Wilson
 * I'd need wings like an aeroplane

CHORUS:


 * Let's have a race, have a race, have a race
 * Let's see who is the quickest
 * Who can be the fastest
 * On your marks, now get set, go!
 * Let's set a pace, set a pace, set a pace
 * Let's see if you can catch me
 * Let's see if you can match me so
 * Let's have a race, have a race

CHORUS:


 * Let's have a race, have a race, have a race
 * Let's see who is the quickest
 * Who can be the fastest
 * Ready, set, go!
 * Let's set a pace, set a pace, set a pace
 * Let's see if you can catch me
 * Let's see if you can match me so
 * Let's have a race, have a race


 * Let's have a race
 * Let's have a race
 * Right now
