Lyrics
The Great Discovery version
- It's Thomas (Thomas),
- You're the leader (leader).
- They're two, they're four, they're six, they're eight,
- Shunting trucks and hauling freight.
- Red and green and brown and blue,
- They're the useful crew (that's who).
- All with different roles to play
- 'Round Tidmouth Sheds and far away.
- Now Stanley's joined this friendly pack,
- But who's this coming down the track?
(chorus)
- Thomas, he's my number one,
- Shining in the morning sun,
- Working hard but having fun,
- Thomas, you're the leader.
- Thomas, you're the leader.
- Thomas has so many friends,
- The list is long, it never ends.
- James and Percy huff and puff,
- And Emily, she knows her stuff,
- Henry, Edward, what a pair,
- Toby, like I say he's square.
- Gordon thunders down the line.
- Everyone's a friend of mine.
- (That's right)
(chorus)
- Let's not forget the narrow gauge,
- Where small and strong is all the rage.
- Sir Handel, Rusty, Mighty Mac (whoa),
- Fearless Freddie at the back.
- Rheneas and then Peter Sam,
- Skarloey, Duncan, he's my man.
- With Mr. Percival in charge,
- No work's too hard, no job's too large.
(chorus)
- Jeremy and Harold, Rocky, Harvey too,
- Salty, Mavis, Bertie, the Really Useful crew.
- It's not just engines full of steam,
- There's Jack and all his building team.
- Tipping stones and digging roads,
- Filling trucks and loading loads.
- Sir Topham Hatt, he keeps an eye
- On every engine passing by.
- Everything is tickety boo,
- 'Coz out in front is you-know-who.
(chorus x2)
Season 13 version

- 'Round Tidmouth Sheds and far away.
(chorus)
