THE SONG OF THE ENGINE

When you travel on the railway,

And the line goes up the hill,

Just listen to the engine

As it pulls you with a will.

Though it goes so very slowly,

it sings this little song,

I think I can I think I can,

And so it goes along.

But later on the journey,

when you are going down the hill

The train requires no pulling

And the engine's singing still.

If you listen very quietly,

You will hear this little song.

I thought I could

And so it speeds along.
