It's Great to be an Engine (Song)

It's Great to be an Engine is a song from the fifth season. A new music video was made in 2015 using footage from the CGI Series as part of Thomas' YouTube World Tour.

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
 * As you're 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
 * As you're 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
 * As you're 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 and
 * Steam around all day!
