He's a really useful engine
(Mike O'Donnel/Junior Campbell)

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
