Five New Engines in the Shed

Five New Engines in the Shed is the first song from the seventh series, dedicated to Salty, Harvey, Emily, Arthur and Murdoch.

Lyrics

Verse 1

Good morning sunshine, brand new day

Busy day for the railway

Engines rolling to and fro-ing

Rushing by on the railway

But today is a special day for

Have you heard the news?

Something special is happening, happening

Have you heard the news?

Have you heard, pass the word, have you heard

Chorus A

There are five new engines in the shed

Five new friends in the shed

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Can you believe your eyes?

Five new engines in the shed

Celebrate the big surprise

And raise the banners high

For the five new engines, great new engines

Five new engines in the shed

Verse 2

Emily, with her coaches green, is a joy to be seen on the railway

Harvey with his crane looks strange, but he'll take the strain on the railway

Salty is the dockside diesel, he'll tell a tale or two

Arthur too, is shy but true, he'll be there for you

Look, there's Murdoch. He's so big and strong. He'll just go on and on

Chorus B

There are five new engines in the shed

Five new friends in the shed

Welcome to one and all

Everybody say hello

Five new friends in the shed

Thomas and all the friends are here

So let us raise a cheer

For the five new engines, great new engines

Five new engines in the shed

Chorus A reprise

Five new engines in the shed

Five new friends in the shed

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Can you believe your eyes?

Five new engines in the shed

Celebrate the big surprise

And raise the banners high

There's Murdoch and Arthur and Emily and Harvey and Salty.

There are five new engines, great new engines

Five new engines in the shed
