♪ Toby

North of the island there lives a dear old train
A little tram engine, Toby is his name
He's quaint and old-fashioned but careful and wise
His coach is Henrietta and she's seen better days

His mind keeps returning to the good old days
When they were busy working everyday
But nobody rides with them nowadays
They can't understand why things have changed
Their line is closing down today forever

Toby, oh Toby, what will become of you?
The world's much nicer whenever we see you
Toby, dear Toby, there's still lots that you can do
Oldies but goodies, we still care about you

All of the children came to say good-bye
They clapped and cheered as Toby rang his bell "Bye bye"
Everyone was sad to see them go
Whatever will they do and where will they go?

Suddenly news came to brighten up their day
How Toby and Henrietta were needed right away
The Fat Controller had written to say
Could they please come and help right away?
Now they're part of his family, forever

Toby, oh Toby, show them what you can do
The world's much nicer whenever we see you
Toby, dear Toby, there's so much to learn from you
Oldies but goodies, we still care about you
Oldies but goodies, we still care for you
