The Whistle Song is a song from the seventh season dedicated to the engines' whistles.
Lyrics
- Engines all have whistles, as everybody knows.
- And as they leave the station, you hear the whistle blow.
- Speeding down the hillside, the whistles blown with pride,
- Driver checks the signal, and whistles one more time.
- Engines, blow your whistles; Toby, ring your bell.
- Gordon and Henry, Thomas as well,
- Engines, blow your whistles and let's all have some fun!
- Engines, blow your whistles; Let's hear the whistle song!
- Every whistle's different; No two will sound the same,
- It helps to warn off danger if something's in your way.
- Whistles are important as every engine knows,
- Clear the line ahead now when the whistle blows!
- Engines, blow your whistles; Toby, ring your bell,
- James and Edward, Percy as well.
- Engines, blow your whistles and let's all have some fun,
- Engines, blow your whistles; Let's hear the whistle song
- An engine lost its whistle and could not make a sound.
- It really was a problem until one could be found.
- 'Cause an engine's not an engine if it hasn't got a whistle,
- Hear the whistle blows!
- Engines, blow your whistles; Toby, ring your bell,
- Gordon and Henry, Thomas as well.
- Engines, blow your whistles and let's all have some fun,
- Engines, blow your whistles; Let's hear the whistle song
- One long whistle means coming up fast,
- Two in the fog, give two short blasts.
- One, two, three, means clear up the line
- Let's blow our whistles one more time!
- Engines, blow your whistles; Toby, ring your bell,
- James and Edward, Percy as well.
- Engines blow your whistles, and let's all have some fun,
- Engines blow your whistles, Let's hear the whistle song!
