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 Goldies, we still care about you

♪

All of the children came to say goodbye

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 Goldies, we still care about you

Oldies but Goldies, we still care for you
