The Whistle Song

The Whistle Song is a song from the seventh season dedicated to the engines' whistles.

Lyrics

 * Engines all have whistles, as everybody knows.
 * And as they leave the station, you hear the whistle blow.
 * Speeding down the hillside, the whistles blown with pride,
 * Driver checks the signal, and whistles one more time.


 * Engines, blow your whistles; Toby, ring your bell.
 * Gordon and Henry, Thomas as well,
 * Engines, blow your whistles and let's all have some fun!
 * Engines, blow your whistles; Let's hear the whistle song!


 * Every whistle's different; No two will sound the same,
 * It helps to warn off danger if something's in your way.
 * Whistles are important as every engine knows,
 * Clear the line ahead now when the whistle blows!


 * Engines, blow your whistles; Toby, ring your bell,
 * James and Edward, Percy as well.
 * Engines, blow your whistles and let's all have some fun,
 * Engines, blow your whistles; Let's hear the whistle song


 * An engine lost its whistle and could not make a sound.
 * It really was a problem until one could be found.
 * 'Cause an engine's not an engine if it hasn't got a whistle,
 * Hear the whistle blows!


 * Engines, blow your whistles; Toby, ring your bell,
 * Gordon and Henry, Thomas as well.
 * Engines, blow your whistles and let's all have some fun,
 * Engines, blow your whistles; Let's hear the whistle song


 * One long whistle means coming up fast,
 * Two in the fog, give two short blasts.
 * One, two, three, means clear up the line
 * Let's blow our whistles one more time!


 * Engines, blow your whistles; Toby, ring your bell,
 * James and Edward, Percy as well.
 * Engines blow your whistles, and let's all have some fun,
 * Engines blow your whistles, Let's hear the whistle song!
