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!
