Classic Series

 * The engines always think they are so clever
 * And so they like to bump the trucks around
 * They bump them in the sidings, they bump them in the yards
 * They better beware, they better take care
 * They better be on their guard...


 * (Chorus)
 * Because those Troublesome Trucks will get the engines every time,
 * Troublesome Trucks will run the engines off the line.
 * They push them here, push them there, till they go too fast,
 * Then they push them once again, laughing while they crash...
 * Troublesome Trucks will get the engines every time,
 * Troublesome Trucks will run the engines off the line.
 * They don't care how big they are, to them it's just a game...
 * Those Troublesome Trucks, will get them all the same


 * Diesel thinks he is so very smart,
 * Bumping all the trucks around the yard...
 * He gets them all in line, then bumps them one more time,
 * Now, he thinks that he's in charge.
 * The trucks decide to play another joke,
 * And Diesel's plans will overload in smoke...
 * He pulls and he pulls, until he breaks the chain...
 * On, on, on, he's off the rails again!


 * (Chorus)
 * Because those Troublesome Trucks will get the engines every time,
 * Troublesome Trucks will run the engines off the line.
 * They push them here, push them there, till they go too fast,
 * Then they push them once again, laughing while they crash...
 * Troublesome Trucks will get the engines every time,
 * Troublesome Trucks will run the engines off the line.
 * They don't care how big they are, to them it's just a game...
 * Those Troublesome Trucks, will get them all the same


 * The engines all try hard to make this stand,
 * Looking for a way to foil their plans...
 * Nothing seems to work, it just makes matters worse...
 * Trucks are also underhand.
 * They buy their time until they get their chance
 * When no-one is expecting it they pounce!
 * They push and they push until it's all too late
 * On, on, on, the trucks have won again!


 * (Chorus)
 * Because those Troublesome Trucks will get the engines every time,
 * Troublesome Trucks will run the engines off the line.
 * They push them here, push them there, till they go too fast,
 * Then they push them once again, laughing while they crash...
 * Troublesome Trucks will get the engines every time,
 * Troublesome Trucks will run the engines off the line.
 * They don't care how big they are, to them it's just a game...
 * Those Troublesome Trucks, will get them all the same


 * They don't care how big they are to them it's just a game...


 * Those Troublesome Trucks, will get them all the same!
