Lyrics - Racing Day

From Race Around the World.

Austin: Racing day, it's racing day,
Racing day, it's racing day!
It's not nervous pacing day.
Today's the day we race.

I'm ready to race a long, long race.
This race goes almost every place.
It's fast, it's long,
It's vast, it's far,
It starts out right here where we are.

But when the finish line's unfurled,
We will have raced around the world.
When we finish this long, long race
I hope, I hope I'll take first place.

Racing day, it's racing day,
Racing day, it's racing day!
It's not sausage casing day,
Today's the day we race.
Today's the day we race.
Today's the day we race.

All: Racing day, it's racing day,
Racing day, it's racing day!
It's not picture-tracing day,
Today's the day we race!

Tyrone: We'll run somewhere that's not right here,
And while we do the crowd will cheer.
Uniqua: Through the forest over the snows,
Across the ocean and then who knows?

Pablo: Whoever is the first around,
will get to make that victory sound,
Austin: Dunt-da-daa! is what they'll say
at the end of racing day.

All: Racing day, it's racing day,
Racing day, it's racing day!
It's not puppy chasing day,
Today's the day we race!

All: Racing day, it's racing day,
Racing day, it's racing day!
It's not doily lacing day,
Today's the day we race!

Uniqua: A long, long, long, long way we've come,
Tyrone: To get back where we started from.
Pablo: We raced real hard but now it's time,
Austin: To break that tape and cross that line.

All: Racing day, it's racing day,
Racing day, it's racing day!
It's not self-effacing day,
Today's the day we race.
Today's the day we race.
Today's the day we race.

  4. I'm fourteen so I'm in the middle! Anyway, love this song! That episode was a great way to end the first season with all five present. This is a wonderful show and the second season is going very well.

  5. We had to rewind it about four times until we finally got "self-effacing day." This song alone has hooked me on the show. Oh, and I'm 38... but my son is 10 months....

  6. Thanks for this great site. Anyone got the lyrics to other songs from this episode? All I remember of the one I'm looking for is "You've gotta go, go, go, you've gotta get there ...." I think the rest is "And you can't go fast if you go to slow." but I could be wrong.

  8. I'm 10 years old and I love the BACKYARDIGANS. My favorite Backyardigan is Tasha. She is soo Hipp-o. LOL (I'm funny) Whats wrong with being 10 years old and liking the backyardigans? I am also friends with the person who is the voice of Pablo. He doesnt sing though, he just talks! AWESOME Huh? Yeah i know!

  9. Self-effacing day...complete genius. I am hooked on this at 37 and my 11 month old seems to like it as well. What a great show.

  10. I was singing this song all day at work after hearing it yesterday. I work at a butcher shop so "It's not sausage casing day" ran through my mind frequently. Thanks for posting these lyrics so I can sing the rest now!

  11. I loove the Backyardigans!! Especially Pablo HE'S SOOO cute!!! I keep drawing him over and over again until my head hurts. I'm gonna put him in the story I'm writing. An eleven yr. old Backyardigan fan is awkward... but my dad likes it too! Even Nickjr says Backyardigans is not for preteens and teens. Hmph. My friends think i'm crazy. I'm still watch Treehouse and I can't get those songs out of my head, so don't you dare laugh or I'll turn you into peanut butter. It's so funny when Pablo takes off like a motorcycle and the others are staring at him. And this "M-u-u-ud!" thing in Eureka. Go go go should be a cheer for my school's, Mitchell's, sports day! I'm gonna write it when I'm in gr.7!! Oh, by the way, I'm in Canada. B.C. In Racing Day I thought "It's not sausage kissing day" was "It's not sausage kissing day!" Betcha there's 100 yr. old Backyardigan fans out there!'CAUSE BACKYARDIGANS ISN'T GOOD, IT'S GREAT!
    Arren't I a good writer?
    Funny, But not funny haha.
    -Cindy
    P.S. I'm writing down every song I memorize!!!!!!! YEAH!

  13. here's gogogo lyrics as close as i can get...

    Go Go Go
    From Racing Day

    Pablo:
    I'm at the front
    I've got the speed
    I love it when I'm in the lead

    CHORUS: Pablo
    I gotta go go go
    get going I gotta go go go
    You can't go fast
    if you go to slow
    I gotta go go go go go!!!

    Tyrone: (spoken)
    That Pablo sure is fast. But I'll catch up to him when we snowboard through the mountains.

    Uniqua: (spoken)
    And I'll catch you when we paddle across the ocean.

    Tyrone and Uniqua:
    We're not in front
    We're close behind
    But we'll catchup, just give us time.

    CHORUS: Uniqua and Tyrone

    Austin:
    I'm in the back
    I'm in the rear
    I don't give up, I never fear.

    CHORUS: Austin

    Thanks!
    From 11 year old Cindy

  16. The lyrics for Go Go Go are:

    "I'm out in front, I've got the speed.
    I love it when I'm in the lead.
    I've gotta' go go go go go
    I've gotta' go go
    'Cause you can't go fast if you go too slow, so...
    GO GO GO GO GO!

    We're not in front,
    we're close behind.
    But we'll catch up just give us time.

    We've gotta' go go go go go
    We've gotta' go go
    'Cause you can't go fast if you go too slow, so...
    GO GO GO GO GO!

    I'm in the back, I'm in the rear.
    But I don't give up,
    I never fear.

    I gotta' go go go go go
    I gotta' go go
    'Cause you can't go fast if you go too slow, so...
    GO GO GO GO GO!"
