Sir Topham Hatt is a song from the fifth season dedicated to the Fat Controller. The tune is based on his theme.
Lyrics
- His name is Sir Topham Hatt
- Some people say he's - Stout!!
- Rather rotund, really quite round
- But he doesn't see it like that
- He considers he's a gentleman of merit,
- with a railway exquisitely fine
- But his main aim is to see that his trains
- run right on time!
CHORUS:
- Sir Top - Sir Topham Hatt
- He's the head of the railway
- There is no doubt about that
- Controller of the line
- It's as plain as plain can be
- for everyone to see that it's
- The Fat Controller's Railway!
- One day he was having breakfast,
- when Thomas decided to call
- He arrived unexpected
- and quite uninvited
- Straight through the dining room wall!
- "My goodness!" said the Controller,
- "why didn't you knock at the door?
- This won't do at all, just look at my wall
- and my breakfast on the floor!"
CHORUS:
- Sir Top - Sir Topham Hatt
- He's the head of the railway
- There is no doubt about that
- Controller of the line
- It's as plain as plain can be
- for everyone to see that it's
- The Fat Controller's Railway!
- He's so proud of his engines
- Each and everyone
- And though he's strict and meticulous
- Favourites he has none
- If ever there is trouble,
- you know who will be there
- "If there's ever a crash, a smash or a muddle,
- he's there on the double, no trouble!"
- 'Cos it's The Fat Controller's Railway!
- When Henry stayed in the tunnel,
- everyone tried to push.
- But Sir Topham Hatt would have none of that,
- "My doctor has forbidden me to push!"
- And one day the wind blew his hat off!
- A goat in the field saw his chance...
- He just picked up the hat, said "Thank you for that!"
- And ate it up for lunch!
CHORUS X2:
- Sir Top - Sir Topham Hatt
- He's the head of the railway
- There is no doubt about that
- Controller of the line
- It's as plain as plain can be
- for everyone to see that it's
- The Fat Controller's Railway!
- Sir Top - Sir Topham Hatt
- He's the head of the railway
- There is no doubt about that
- Controller of the line
- It's as plain as plain can be
- for everyone to see that it's
- The Fat Controller's Railway!
- The Fat Controller's Railway!
- Sir Top-ham Hatt!
