Song Lyrics

Main line engines always boast how big they are
Superior by far
But little engines toil away from dawn to dusk
Without a fuss or care

Just because we're small
Doesn't mean we don't stand tall
And we pull our weight like all the others do
You'll be surprised, in spite of our size
Just what little engines can do!

Little engines, little engines
Little engines can do the biggest things
Little engines, little engines
Little engines can do most anything
They'll carry on until the work is over
They'll carry on to the end
They're the smallest in the station
Don't underestimate them
They're not such little engines after all

Bigger engines say
Little engines play all day
And we're not much use to anyone at all
But we're strong enough, to deal with those trucks
That's what little engines are for!

Little engines, little engines
Little engines can do the biggest things
Little engines, little engines
Little engines can do most anything
They'll carry on until the work is over
They'll carry on to the end
They're the smallest in the station
Don't underestimate them
They're not such little engines after all

Thomas, Percy, Bill and Ben
You can rely on them
These little engines are the best!
Stepney, Duck and Oliver
They'll give the trucks, what for?
You'll be so impressed

Little
Engines, little engines
Little engines can do the biggest things
Little engines, little engines
Little engines can do most anything

They'll carry on until the work is over
They'll carry on to the end
They're the smallest in the station
Don't underestimate them
'Cause they're not little engines after all
They're our favourite little engines
They're mighty little engines!
They're not such little engines after all!
They're not such little engines after all!

Junior Campbell, Michael O'donnell
