James the Splendid Engine Lyrics

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 OK
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 swanning 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!
