Down by the Docks

Down by the Docks is a song from the sixth season. A new music video was made in March 11th, 2015 using footage from the CGI Series as part of Thomas' YouTube World Tour; this version was slightly shorter.

It was later re-released and performed by Robert Hartshorne in the nineteenth season episode, No Help At All.

Chorus:


 * Down by the docks, that's the place to be,
 * Down by the docks, gateway to the sea,
 * Down by the dockside, we are the team,
 * Working together, just like family.
 * Down by the docks, you're never on your own,
 * Down by the docks, it's really home from home,
 * Down by the dockside, down by the dockside.
 * Down by the dockside, is where we want to be.


 * Salty!
 * Chief Diesel at the docks,
 * He's the tough guy. He's the one who sorts the trucks.
 * He's the one to see, in emergencies...
 * He's the one to see.
 * Tirelessly working, never complaining,
 * Part of the dockside team...


 * Cranky!
 * Looking down on everyone,
 * Always working. Lifting cargo by the ton.
 * And he's up so high, he can reach the sky...
 * Part of the dockside team.
 * Whatever the weather, you'll see him out there,
 * Part of the dockside team...

(Chorus)


 * Sailors!
 * Who have crossed the seven seas,
 * Sailing homeward. Bringing all and sundry.
 * And the trade winds blow their ships back home...
 * Safely to the shore.
 * We are the workers, stoking the boilers
 * Of Sodor's industry...

(Chorus)


 * Down by the dockside, down by the dockside
 * Down by the dockside, is where...we want to...be!
