Read together
Come children, gather round and hear
A tale of speed and racing gear
Of dreams and hopes that drive us on
To the finish line, we'll be strong!
The track ahead, a mile or two
We rev our engines, feeling new
Our driving licences fresh and bright
Ready to take on any fight
With a wave, we start our charge
Our hearts beating, we're living large
The wind in our hair, the sun in our face
We're ready to win this racing race
We see a sign, a tricky bend
But we won't falter, we won't bend
Our speed increases, we overtake
Our rivals trailing in our wake
We reach the finish line with glee
Our dream achieved, we're finally free
We celebrate our victory
In this world of speed and harmony.
