There Once Was an Engine Who Ran Away

There Once was an Engine Who Ran Away is a song from the seventh season dedicated to Fergus. It based on his theme.

Lyrics
Their once was an engine who ran away.

Just up and went.

And ran away, ran away.

Stack up his tender, and headed down the line.

Toot toot, farewell, goodbye!

He overheard the wicked old Diesel say.

He was heading for the scrapyard any day.

He didn't wanna wait for the fateful day.

So the little old engine ran away.

He huffed and he puffed, his wheels started turning.

He chuffed and he chuffed, his little firebox burning.

He slipped his brake, let his whistle fly.

Toot toot, farewell, goodbye!

And the little old engine ran away.

Just up and went.

And ran away, ran away.

Didn't feel part of the railway.

So the little old engine ran away.

(instrumental)

And when the other engines heard he'd gone.

They felt so sad, 'cos they knew he had gone and gone.

No matter what Diesel had to say

Sir Topham Hatt has the final say.

So he thought and he thought,

Where could he be, could he be.

Some searched high, the others searched low.

Where did he run, where did he run?

We've gotta bring the little engine home.

So they all went out to look around.

Far and wide, up and down

No matter where they searched no one seemed to know.

Oh where did the little old engine go?

Thomas finally tracked him down.

He was cold and blue, and all alone.

He told him he was needed back urgently.

"Who me, really?"

"Yes you, you silly engine!"

'Cos he's the pride of the railway!

So he huffed and he puffed.

His wheels started turning.

He chuffed and he chuffed his little firebox burning.

He slipped his brake and was on his way.

Toot toot, hip hip, hooray!

Now the little old engine's heading home.

To toots and cheers, hear the whistles blow.

'Cos now he's the pride of the railway!

"Look everybody! Here comes Fergus!"

"Hooray!"

Yes the little old engine's coming home!
