Lyrics
He's a really useful engine, you know

All the other engines they'll tell you so

He huffs and puffs and whistles

Rushing to and fro

He's the really useful engine we adore!

Chorus:

He's the one, he's the one

He's the really useful engine that we adore

He's the one, he's the number one

Thomas the Tank Engine

He's a really useful engine, you know

'Cause the Fat Controller, he told him so

Now he's got a branch line

To call his very own

He's the really useful engine we adore

(Chorus)

Little blue train, he's always there

Whenever you need a hand

If you need help with a situation

Who comes into mind

(Chorus)

He's a really useful engine, you know

Maybe little, but he's never slow

Stand back in amazement

Just you watch him go

He's the really useful engine we adore

(Chorus)

He's the really useful engine we adore!
