| Lyrics: | (MayFoster)
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 move
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 clickity 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

but halfway to the top it gave just gave up and seemed to say
I can't go on, I can't

I can't go on, I can't go on, 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 mountainside,
but with a high
and mighty sneer, it scornfully replied
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 cam another one, the smallest ever
seen.
And though it seemed that she could hardly pull herself along,
she hitched on to the
front and as she pulled and 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
boys.
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 th |
