Lyrics

Rex and Bert: Never overlook a little engine

Little ones are really useful too

Mike: We've got trucks to pull

So make 'em extra full

I've never known a job that I couldn't do

Rex: (spoken) "With a little help from me maybe!"

All: Never overlook a little engine

We can take you where you want to go

We may have tiny track

But we'll get you there and back

And hold on to your hats

We don't go slow

Mike: (spoken) "Look out, Thomas!"

All: If you think that bigger's better

Then you're making a mistake

The ocean isn't wetter than a tiny little lake

A cherry might be tastier than a great big cake

And we can turn around in half the time those big guys take

Never overlook a little engine

We have set our sights upon the sky

You need a lot of puff

Bert: Being big is not enough

Mike: I've never known a job that I wouldn't try

Bert: (spoken) "Ha, ha! Me neither!"

Rex: (spoken) "Nor me!"

All: Never overlook a little engine

Bert: Like me

Mike: Like me

Rex: Like me

All with Thomas: Like us!

This is the first original song sung by engines.
The clip of Thomas in the yards from The Adventure Begins uses a different render, such as different clouds and water is visible coming from the water tower.
During a part of the song Rex, Bert and Mike are seen driving along a big birthday cake saying "70th" on it. This is a reference to Thomas the Tank Engine's 70th anniversary; since the special and this song were released in 2015, it was the 70th year of the Railway Series as a whole.
The instrumental version of the song was once shown on the home page for the Official Website.
The song itself became a theme for the Arlesdale engines starting in Season 20 with Tit for Tat, and in Useful Railway multiple instrumental variations can be heard throughout the episode.
