Lyrics
Season 5 version
- His name is Sir Topham Hatt some people say he's - Stout!!
- Rather rotund, really quite round but he doesn't see it like that!
- He considers he's a gentleman of merit, with a railway exquisitely fine.
- But his main aim is to see that his trains run right on time!
- Sir Top - Sir Topham Hatt he's the head of the railway
- There is no doubt about that, Controller of the line
- It's as plain as plain can be for everyone to see that it's the Fat Controller's Railway!
- One day he was having breakfast, when Thomas decided to call
- He arrived unexpected and quite uninvited
- Straight through the dining room wall!
- "My goodness," said the Controller, "why didn't you knock on the door?”
- ”This won't do at all. Just look at my wall, and my breakfast's on the floor!"
- Sir Top - Sir Topham Hatt he's the head of the railway
- There is no doubt about that. Controller of the line
- It's as plain as plain can be for everyone to see that it's the Fat Controller's Railway!
- He's so proud of his engines each and everyone
- And though he's strict and meticulous, favourites he has none
- If ever there is trouble, you know who will be there
- "If there's ever a crash, a smash or a muddle, he's there on the double, no trouble!"
- 'Cause it's The Fat Controller's Railway!
- When Henry stayed in the tunnel, everyone tried to push.
- But Sir Topham Hatt would have none of that,
- "My doctor has forbidden me to push!"
- And one day the wind blew his hat off!
- A goat in the field saw his chance...
- He just picked up the hat, said "Thank you for that!" And ate it up for lunch!
- Sir Top - Sir Topham Hatt he's the head of the railway
- There is no doubt about that, Controller of the line
- It's as plain as plain can be for everyone to see that it's the Fat Controller's Railway!
- Sir Top - Sir Topham Hatt he's the head of the railway
- There is no doubt about that controller of the line
- It's as plain as plain can be for everyone to see that it's the Fat Controller's Railway!
- The Fat Controller's Railway!
- Sir Top-ham Hatt!
Thomas Saves the Day Live! version
- Sir Top - Sir Topham Hatt he's the head of the railway
- There is no doubt about that controller of the line
- It's as plain as plain can be for everyone to see that he's Controller of the Railway!
- I'm so proud of my engines each and everyone
- And though my strict and meticulous favourites I’ve had none
- If ever there is trouble, you know who will be there
- "If there's ever a crash, a smash or a muddle, he's there on the double, no trouble!"
- 'Cause he's Controller of the Railway!
- My Grandfather's Railway!
- Sir Top-ham Hatt!

Goofs
- The shot of Percy backing into Knapford in Duck Takes Charge at the start is reversed. Due to this, steam is seen going back into his funnel.
- This song claims Thomas crashed into the Fat Controller's house, but in the episode, Thomas Comes to Breakfast, it was actually the Ffarquhar stationmaster's house.
