Little Engines Songtext
von Thomas & Friends

Main line engines always boast how big they are
Superior by far
But little engines toil away from dawn ′til dusk
Without a fuss, okay

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 their 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 'til the end
They′re the smallest in the station
They're underestimated
They′re not such little engines after all

Bigger engines say, little engines play all day
And they aren't much use to anyone at all
But they′re strong enough to deal with those truck
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 ′til the end
They're the smallest in the station
They′re underestimated
They're not such little engines after all


Thomas passing Kalaman
You can rely on them
These little engines are the best
Stepney, Duck and Oliver
They′ll get 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 'til the end
They′re the smallest in the station
They′re underestimated
'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
