Lyrics[]
Journey Beyond Sodor[]
- Frankie: I don't know where you thought you were going,
- But here you are!
- Hurricane: I don't know what you thought you were doing,
- But you've come so far!
- This is the place you were meant to be being!
- Frankie: These are the sights you were meant to be seeing!
- Hurricane: We'll lift your thermostat up
- A degreeing or two
- Hurricane and Frankie: And we're guaranteeing
- That you'll be agreeing it's true (Hurricane: Woo!)
- This is the hottest place in town
- We'll warm you up when you're feeling down
- We'll make a smile out of every frown
- Hurricane: Just take a look around
- At the joy we've found!
- Hurricane and Frankie: This is the place you can have some fun!
- Where you can feel like a number one!
- We've got more sunshine than the sun!
- Frankie: There's a light in our eyes
- We simply can't disguise
- Hurricane and Frankie: This is the hottest place in town!
- (Hurricane: Yeah!) Come in and come along for the riding
- Shunting lovely ladle trucks (cars in US dub) up the sidings
- Rails so smooth that you'll be gliding along
- And before you know it you'll be joining us in our song
- This is the hottest place in town (Hurricane: Woo!)
- No other like it anywhere around
- You'll be king and you'll wear a crown (Hurricane: I say)
- What we're trying to say
- Is that we hope you'll stay
- This is the place you can shine like gold!
- Our jobs are cool but we're never cold!
- We really think you could fit the mould!
- Frankie: You'll be part of the team
- You'll be living the dream
- Hurricane and Frankie: This is the hottest place in town
- Come in and come along for the riding
- Shunting lovely ladle trucks (cars in US dub) up the sidings
- Hurricane: Rails so smooth that you'll be gliding along
- And before you know it you'll be joining us in our song!
- Thomas: This is the hottest place in town (Frankie: Yeah!) (Hurricane: You know it!)
- You'll warm me up when I'm feeling down
- You'll make a smile out of every frown (Frankie: You've got it!)
- Hurricane: You know you're keeping it real
- When you're working with steel
- Thomas: This is the place I can have some fun! (Hurricane: That's it, Thomas!) (Frankie: Woo!)
- Where I can feel like number one
- I've got more sunshine than the sun (Hurricane: You're number one!) (Frankie: Yeah!)
- Frankie: There's no looking back now!
- You're on the right track now!
- Frankie, Hurricane, and Thomas: This is the hottest place in town!

Trivia[]
- The song was sung twice by Hurricane and Frankie, once to Thomas and once to James, however James interrupted their singing.
- Later, the Troublesome Trucks jokingly referred to this song when James asked who Hurricane was.
- In the second version, when Frankie and Hurricane are stuttering “There’s a light in our eyes we simply can’t disguise”, Frankie lip-syncs the word ‘can’t’ but only Hurricane sings this word.
- Thomas switched junctions immediately before Frankie and Hurricane sang “rails so smooth that you’ll be gliding along’. However, he just shunted Ladle Trucks on the other junction area.
