Lyrics
'F' is for friendship
And flying and free.
'G' is for good
As good friends ought to be.
What's after 'G'
And then comes before 'I'?
'H'! is for Harold way up in the sky.
Let's sing about Harold
Our friend in the air.
Up in the clouds
He can see everywhere.
Patrolling the Island
An eye in the sky.
A friend to all engines
And so that is why.
'F' is for friendship
And flying and free.
'G' is for good
As good friends ought to be.
What's after 'G'
And then comes before 'I'?
'H'! is for Harold way up in the sky.
He's daring and brave
And determined to show
How he can help when
There's blankets of snow.
If engines get lost
In the dead of the night
Harold can hover
While shining his light.
'F' is for friendship
And flying and free.
'G' is for good
As good friends ought to be.
What's after 'G'
And then comes before 'I'?
'H'! is for Harold way up in the sky.
'H'! is for Harold way up in the sky.
He hovers over water
As well as the land.
When Sir Topham Hatt needs him
He's waiting on hand.
'F' is for friendship
And flying and free.
'G' is for good
As good friends ought to be.
What's after 'G'
And then comes before 'I'?
'H'! is for Harold way up in the sky.

Trivia
The entire three-minute music video had only been released in Japan, but recently, the full version was released in the All Star Tracks CD in 2011.
This song marks Terence's first appearance since the seventh series . Also, Elizabeth makes a cameo when she is next to Percy.
This music video features the most scenes that are not from episodes.
In a deleted scene for this music video, in the extended version in the scene where we see Duncan from probably Harold’s point of view, it can be assumed that Peter Sam was intended to have the scene instead of Duncan but it was changed to Duncan so Peter Sam did not seem to be the main focused Narrow Gauge Engine in the Music Video.
There is an instrumental of the short version on the China DVD Sing-a-Long 4 DVD, besides the one that plays at the end in Japan's video and the track from the worldwide 2011 CD.
