James the Splendid Engine

(composed by Mike O'Donnell & Junior Cambell)

He's a really splendid engine, everybody knows

But he does go on, and on, and on, always telling us so!

He is a splendid fellow, but he really is quite vain

Who do we mean? You got it! James!

Take a look who's coming down the track

Make way for James, Hooray for James

Shiny shiny paint with the jet-black stack

Make way for James, Hooray for James

What it is for certain and we really should note

It's indisputable, but let's take a vote

He's the really splendid engine with the bright red coat

James ee oh

He can brag all day—how fast he goes

How good he looks—he's such a pose

But what about the time he got covered in mud

Oh what a dope what a dud!

But up and down the line you'll hear the others say

Despite his vanity he really is okay

Dependable, reliable and seldom late

We all think James is great!

Speeding down the line like a lightning flash

Make way for James, Hooray for James

Hang on to your hat as he whooshes past

Make way for James, Hooray for James

He really knows how to stage a show

You gotta stand back and watch him go

He's the really splendid engine with the bright red coat

Look who's swaning it down the track

Make way for James, Hooray for James

He never looks up, he never looks back

Make way for James, Hooray for James

A tad conceited, and really quite vain

He knows we love him just the same

Take a look who's coming down the track

Make way for James, Hooray for James

Shiny shiny paint with the jet-black stack

Make way for James, Hooray for James

He's the really splendid engine, shiny shiny engine

He's the really splendid engine, yep, that's our James

That's James
