## Lyrics

It's Wilson the Diesel Engine.
Hip, hip, hip, hip, hooray!
Chugga-chugga, chugg, chugg
Chuff, chuff, chuff.
He rides along the way.
And when you hear that horn,
It can only be one train.
Our favourite little engine,
Wilson is his name!
Wilson the Diesel Engine rolling along, [whistle]
All of his friends will be coming along.
Wilson, we love you.
He's a really useful engine
With a heart that's big and strong.
He chugga-chugga, chuff-chuffs working hard
Helping everyone.
Wilson, he has lots of friends
And you can be one too.
Just clap, clap, clap and sing-along
Wilson, we love you.
Wilson the Diesel Engine rolling along, [whistle]
All of his friends will be coming along.
Wilson, we love you.
There's Hanzo, and Koko,
Old Puffer Pete, Skylar, and Speedy,
Hoot and Toot,
And don't forget Brewster!
Frostini and Harrison,
Zack, Calley, and Tyne.
Lots more friends for you.
He's always up to mischief,
That cheeky little train.
He chugga-chugga-chuff-chuffs everywhere,
He's always playing games.
Vee scolds him,
But loves him just the same.
Our favourite little engine,
Wilson is his name!
Wilson the Diesel Engine rolling along, [whistle]
All of his friends will be coming along.
Wilson we love you.
Wilson the Diesel Engine rolling along, [whistle]
All of his friends will be coming along.
Wilson we love you,
Wilson we love you,
Wilson,
We love you!
