Really Useful Engine is a song from the fourth season dedicated to Thomas. An orchestral and shortened version of the song, with the original children's voices and added backup vocals by Steven Page, was used in Thomas and the Magic Railroad. A third version was made, with vocals by Robert Hartshorne and the Kidmore Children's Choir and slightly modified lyrics for The Adventure Begins.
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!
CHORUS:
- He's the one, he's the one
- He's the really useful engine that we adore
- He's the one, he's the number one
- Thomas the Tank Engine
- 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
CHORUS:
- Little blue train, he's always there
- Whenever you need a hand
- If you need help with a situation
- Who comes into mind
CHORUS:
- He's a really useful engine, you know
- Maybe little, but he's never slow
- Stand back in amazement
- Just you watch him go
- He's the really useful engine we adore
CHORUS:
