The Little Engine That Could

Lyrics

There was a little railroad train with loads and loads of toys
 All starting out to find a home with little girls and boys
 And as that little railroad train began to chug along
 The little engine up in front was heard to sing this song
 Choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, choo
 I feel so good today
 Oh, hear the track, oh, clickety clack
 I? ll go my merry way
 The little train went rousing on, so fast it seemed to fly
 Until it reached a mountain that went almost to the sky
 The little engine moaned and groaned and huffed and puffed away
 But halfway to the top it just gave up and seemed to say
 I can? t go, I can? t go
 I? m weary as can be
 I can? t go, I can? t go
 This job is not for me
 The toys got out to push but all in vain alas alack
 And then a great big engine came a whistling down the track
 They asked if it would kindly pull them up the mountain side
 But with a high and mighty sneer, it scornfully replied I
 Don? t bother me, don? t bother me
 To pull the likes of you
 Don? t bother me, don? t bother me
 I? ve better things to do
 The toys all started crying? cause that engine was so mean
 And then there came another one, the smallest ever seen
 And though it seemed that she could hardly pull herself along
 She hitched on to the train and as she pulled, she sang this song
 I think I can, I think I can
 I think I have a plan
 And I can do 'most anything
 If I only think I can
 Then up that great big mountain with the cars all full of toys
 And soon they reached the waiting arms of little girls and boy
 And though that ends the story, it will do you lots of good
 To take a lesson from the little engine that could
 Just think you can, just think you can
 Just have that understood
 And very soon you? ll start to say
 I always knew I could
 I knew I could, I knew I could
 I knew I could, I knew I could
 I knew I could, I knew I could, yeah
