Engine Roll Call

The Engine Rollcall is a song featured at the end of every episode since the eighth season. The lyrics have since been incorporated into the theme tune of the eleventh season. The lyrics were changed twice: Once for Calling All Engines! and once for The Great Discovery. There is also an alternate rock 'n' roll version.

Lyrics
(chorus:)

They're two, they're four, they're six, they're eight,

Shunting trucks and hauling freight.

Red and green and brown and blue,

They're the Really Useful crew.

All with different roles to play

'round Tidmouth Sheds or far away,

Down the hills and round the bends,

Thomas and his friends.

Thomas, he's the cheeky one,

James is vain but lots of fun.

Percy pulls the mail on time,

Gordon thunders down the line.

Emily really knows her stuff,

Henry toots and huffs and puffs.

Edward wants to help and share,

Toby, well, let's say, he's square.

(chorus x2)

Calling All Engines version
(chorus)

All the engines are on hand,

Waiting for a plane to land.

Be they diesels, be they steam,

All keep working as a team.

Emily will now go to bed

With all the rest at Tidmouth Sheds.

And no one can remember when

Steamies worked with Diesel 10.

(chorus)

The Great Discovery version
(chorus)

Thomas, he's the cheeky one,

James is vain but lots of fun.

Percy pulls the mail on time,

Gordon thunders down the line.

Emily really knows her stuff,

Henry toots and Edward puffs.

Stanley, he's the new one there,

Toby, well, let's say, he's square.

(chorus)

Rock and Roll version
They're two, they're four, they're six, they're eight,

Shunting trucks and hauling freight, (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)

Red and green and brown and blue,

They're the really useful crew,

Down the hills and round the bends,

Thomas and his friends.

(Hey! Hey! Hey!)

Thomas, he's the cheeky one,

James, is vain but lots of fun,

Percy, pulls the mail on time, (Ohhh)

Emily, knows her stuff,

Henry, Toots and huffs and puffs,

Gordon, heading down the line,

Edward wants to help and share,

Toby well let's say - He's square!

They're two, they're four, they're six, they're eight,

Shunting trucks and hauling freight,

Down the hills and round the bends (Ohhh. Hey! Hey!)

Thomas and his friends.

 * Another version of this song can be heard on the "A Day at the Races" game for PlayStation 2; "James is vain but never bad, Thomas, he's the cheeky lad".
 * In the ninth and tenth season version, a close up of Emily's wheels from Thomas, Emily and the Snowplough is reversed.
 * In Norway, this song was never redone to Norwegian until the thirteenth season. It was Norwegian in Calling All Engines! and The Great Discovery though.
 * This is the final music video to feature footage from the classic series.
 * In King of the Railway, the brass band are heard playing the song when Sir Robert Norramby arrives at Knapford, and again later at the opening of Ulfstead Castle. Stephen is also heard humming the song while he is on the main line.

 * In the first Hebrew version, it said that James was "usually annoyed".
