Lyrics
The Railway Series version
- Trucks are waiting in the Yard;
- Tackling them with ease'll
- "Show the world what I can do",
- Gaily boasts the Diesel.
- In and out he creeps about,
- Like a big black weasel.
- When he pulls the wrong ones out –
- Pop goes the Diesel!
Television Series version
- Trucks/Cars are waiting in the Yard;
- Tackling them with ease'll
- "Show the world what I can do",
- Gaily boasts the Diesel.
- In and out he creeps about,
- Like a big black weasel.
- When he pulls the wrong trucks/cars out –
- Pop goes the Diesel!
Trivia
- This song is sung to the tune of "Pop Goes the Weasel". A later song, "Pop Goes Old Ollie", uses the same tune.
- The trucks' voices are Junior Campbell and Mike O'Donnell's in high pitch.
- This makes the Troublesome Trucks the first characters to have their voices provided by someone other than the show's narrator.
- In the Korean and Hungarian versions, the song is played in English without the narrators translating or singing.
