Lyrics
Classic Series
- 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!

Trivia
- Two of the accidents in the video were not actually caused by trucks: These being when Thomas crashes into the barn and when Oliver crashes into the snowman.
- An alternate shot of Percy's crash from the sixth season episode Harvey to the Rescue shows the brake van hitting the camera.
- The scene from the third season episode, The Trouble with Mud, after a truck was pushed away by Gordon, is repeated twice.
- In the chorus verse, closed-captions misspell Troublesome Trucks as "trucks and trucks".
- The children's backing vocals are missing from the first verse of the CGI version when it is played in The Adventure Begins.
- The shots of Thomas' and Diesel's aftermath are edited.
- This is the fifth song to get re-released with different lyrics and footage. The first was Engine Roll Call, the second was Go, Go Thomas, the third was Working Together and the fourth was Really Useful Engine.
- The CGI Music Video has the least amount of episodes/specials.
- An alternate version of this song can be heard on the Thomas and the Really Brave Engines and Other Adventures VHS with the trucks laughing in the background the whole time.
