Lyrics[]
- He's a Really Useful Engine you know
- All the other engines they'll tell you so
- He huffs and puffs and whistles
- Rushing to and fro
- He's the Really Useful Engine we adore
- He's a Really Useful Engine you know
- 'Cause the Fat Controller he told him so
- Now he's got a branch line to call his very own
- He's the Really Useful Engine we adore
- He's the one, he's the number one
- Thomas the Tank Engine
- He's the Really Useful Engine we adore!
