The Work Song is a Direct-to-Home Video song from Jack and the Sodor Construction Company.
Lyrics
CHORUS:
- Sodor's always busy with jobs that must be done
- Being really useful is not just work, it's fun
- Hard work can be dirty with coal and dust and grime
- But if we choose to work or play, we choose to work each time
- There are jobs across the island, today we're on the quay
- Loading this and shunting that like fish fresh from the sea
- We might be in the quarry or pulling the express
- Whatever work we're doing, we always do our best
CHORUS:
- Sodor's always busy with jobs that must be done
- Being really useful is not just work, it's fun
- Hard work can be dirty with coal and dust and grime
- But if we choose to work or play, we choose to work each time
- It takes a team of engines to clear snow from the track
- But when you're building buildings, you'll need Jack and his pack
- They're digging, dipping, loading, whatever duty calls
- Filling holes with concrete or knocking over walls
CHORUS:
- Sodor's always busy with jobs that must be done
- Being really useful is not just work, it's fun
- Hard work can be dirty with coal and dust and grime
- But if we choose to work or play, we choose to work each time
(Instrumental break and guitar solo)
- What's the next job waiting?
- Only time will tell
- If a job's worth doing, we like to do it well
CHORUS:
- Sodor's always busy with jobs that must be done
- Being really useful is not just work, it's fun
- Hard work can be dirty with coal and dust and grime
- But if we choose to work or play, we choose to work each time
CHORUS:
- Sodor's always busy with jobs that must be done
- Being really useful is not just work, it's fun
- Hard work can be dirty with coal and dust and grime
- But if we choose to work or play, we choose to work each time
