Theme tune lyrics:
Jump in we'll take you for a spin,
And show you round the Wheelie World!
Hop on it's fun to come along,
And take a look at Wheelie World!
You'll be surprised how good it feels,
To zoom around and you'll wheel so merrily
With me!
You don't need a ticket,
Cos we'll get you on for free.

And if you see the witch Fenella,
Don't be worried,
Cos there's no cause for alarm!
(ha! ha! ha! ha!)
Cos we've got Chorlton who's a dragon,
And he'll keep you free from harm!
(ho! ho! ho! ho!)
It's fun at anytime of year!
So put your wheels in second gear,
And then hold tight,
Alright!
We'll show you all the sights of Wheelie World!
