Lyrics
- Whatever job you're doing
- Make sure you're doing it right.
- Start each day the proper way
- All polished, shining bright.
- Do your best but still have fun
- So when you come home at night
- You can say in every way
- You tried to do things right.
- Don't go racing through the fog.
- That's when you must take care.
- Help the other engines
- As there's always work to share.
- Take on coal and water
- To see you through the day.
- And you'll get used to doing
- Everything the proper way.
- Whatever job you're doing,
- Make sure you're doing it right.
- Start each day the proper way
- All polished, shining bright.
- Do your best but still have fun
- So when you come home at night
- You can say in every way
- You tried to do things right.
- Wait 'til everyone's on board
- Before you're wheeshing steam
- Clear the snow with snowploughs
- Follow Harold's shining beam.
- Whistle out a warning
- When there's trouble up ahead.
- How proud you're going to feel
- When you go home to Tidmouth Sheds.
- Whatever job you're doing,
- Make sure you're doing it right.
- Start each day the proper way
- All polished, shining bright.
- Do your best but still have fun
- So when you come home at night
- You can say in every way
- You tried to do things right.
- You can say in every way
- You tried to do things right.
- Don't go racing through the fog.
- That's when you must take care.
- Help the other engines
- As there's always work to share.
- Take on coal and water
- To see you through the day.
- And you'll get used to doing
- Everything the proper way.
- Whatever job you're doing,
- Make sure you're doing it right.
- Start each day the proper way
- All polished, shining bright.
- Do your best but still have fun
- So when you come home at night
- You can say in every way
- You tried to do things right.
- You can say in every way
- You tried to do things right.
