It's Great To Be An Engine

It's Great to be an Engine is a song from the fifth season.

Lyrics
Oh yes, it's great

To be an engine

And go steaming along,

Puff puff puffing along,

Peep peep peeping along.

All the people waving

As you speed along.

Puff puff puffing along

All day.

We're all so proud to be

Famous engines

And travel through the countryside.

We're always brave when

There are hills to climb.

No mountain is too high!

Oh yes it's great

To be an engine

And go steaming along.

Puff puff puffing along,

Peep peep peeping along.

Fly along the rails as

Your wheels go round

Whiz whiz whizzing around

All day.

It doesn't matter

Come rain or shine.

There are always things

for us to do.

And in the cold cold

wintertime,

We're ready.

When you light the fire

and stoke the boiler

And we'll be there for you!

Oh yes it's great

To be an engine

And go steaming along.

Puff puff puffing along,

Peep peep peeping along.

Feel the wind around you

as you push along.

Puff puff puffing along

All day.

Just think - how wonderful it would be.

To live on the magical Island of Sodor,

Helping Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends

All day long,

It would be like a dream come true.

If only I could be an engine too...

Oh yes it's great

To be an engine

And go steaming along.

Puff puff puffing along,

Peep peep peeping along.

Fly along the rails as your

Wheels go round.

Whiz whiz whizzing around

All day.

Oh yes it's great

To be an engine

And go steaming along.

Puff puff puffing along,

Peep peep peeping along.

All the people waving

As you speed along.

Puff puff puffing along,

Peep peep peeping and

puff puff puffing

steam around all day!
