James the Splendid Engine

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? We 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 is for certain and we really should note,
it's indisputable, but let's take a vote
he is a really splendid engine with the bright red coat!
James, eeh ooh...
He can brag all day,
how fast he goes,
how good he looks,
he's such a pose.
But what about the time that he got covered in mud,
oh what a dope what a dud!
And 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 wooshes past
Make way for James,
Hooray for James
He really knows how to stay in the show
You gotta stand back and watch him go
He is a 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 concieted, I"m 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 a really splendid engine
Shiny, shiny engine
He's a really splendid engine
Yup, that's our James
That's James
