Troublesome Trucks is a song from the seventh series dedicated to the trucks. It was re-released with CGI footage and altered lyrics for The Adventure Begins. This version of the song is performed by Robert Hartshorne and the Kidmore Children's Choir.
Lyrics
Series 7 version
- The engines always think they are so clever
- And so they like to bump the trucks around
- They bump them in the sidings, they bump them in the yards
- They better beware, they better take care
- They better be on their guard...
- (Chorus)
- Because those Troublesome Trucks will get the engines every time,
- Troublesome Trucks will run the engines off the line.
- They push them here, push them there, till they go too fast,
- Then they push them once again, laughing while they crash...
- Troublesome Trucks will get the engines every time,
- Troublesome Trucks will run the engines off the line.
- They don't care how big they are, to them it's just a game...
- Those Troublesome Trucks, will get them all the same
- Diesel thinks he is so very smart,
- Bumping all the trucks around the yard...
- He gets them all in line, then bumps them one more time,
- Now, he thinks that he's in charge.
- The trucks decide to play another joke,
- And Diesel's plans will overload in smoke...
- He pulls and he pulls, until he breaks the chain...
- On, on, on, he's off the rails again!
- (Chorus)
- Because those Troublesome Trucks will get the engines every time,
- Troublesome Trucks will run the engines off the line.
- They push them here, push them there, till they go too fast,
- Then they push them once again, laughing while they crash...
- Troublesome Trucks will get the engines every time,
- Troublesome Trucks will run the engines off the line.
- They don't care how big they are, to them it's just a game...
- Those Troublesome Trucks, will get them all the same
- The engines all try hard to make this stand,
- Looking for a way to foil their plans...
- Nothing seems to work, it just makes matters worse...
- Trucks are also underhand.
- They buy their time until they get their chance
- When no-one is expecting it they pounce!
- They push and they push until it's all too late
- On, on, on, the trucks have won again!
- (Chorus)
- Because those Troublesome Trucks will get the engines every time,
- Troublesome Trucks will run the engines off the line.
- They push them here, push them there, till they go too fast,
- Then they push them once again, laughing while they crash...
- Troublesome Trucks will get the engines every time,
- Troublesome Trucks will run the engines off the line.
- They don't care how big they are, to them it's just a game...
- Those Troublesome Trucks, will get them all the same
- They don't care how big they are to them it's just a game...
- Those Troublesome Trucks, will get them all the same!
The Adventure Begins version
- The engines always think they are so clever
- And so they like to bump the trucks around
- They bump them in the sidings, they bump them in the yards
- They better beware, they better take care
- They better be on their guard...
- Thomas pulls the trucks along the line
- He's happy and he thinks it's going fine
- The trucks all start to moan
- They rattle and they groan
- Look out, Thomas!
- Watch out, Thomas!
- That's a warning sign!
- Because those Troublesome Trucks will get the engines every time,
- Troublesome Trucks will run the engines off the line.
- They push them here, push them there, until they go too fast,
- Then they push them once again, laughing while they crash...
- Troublesome Trucks will get the engines every time,
- Troublesome Trucks will run the engines off the line.
- They don't care how big they are, to them it's just a game...
- Those Troublesome Trucks, will get them all the same
- Before long, Thomas comes to Gordon's Hill
- It's hard work and he really has to pull
- But soon he's at the top
- And then he just can't stop
- On! On! On!
- The trucks go faster still
- Because those Troublesome Trucks will get the engines every time,
- Troublesome Trucks will run the engines off the line.
- They push them here, push them there, until they go too fast,
- Then they push them once again, laughing while they crash...
- Troublesome Trucks will get the engines every time,
- Troublesome Trucks will run the engines off the line.
- They don't care how big they are, to them it's just a game...
- Those Troublesome Trucks, will get them all the same
