Roll Call

Roll Call

The Engine Rollcall is a song featured at the end of the new episodes, focusing on the "Steam Team". The lyrics have since been incorporated into the theme tune of the eleventh season. The lyrics were changed twice: Once for Calling All Engines and once for The Great Discovery. There is also an alternate rock 'n' roll version.

Lyrics

(chorus:)

They're two, they're four, they're six, they're eight, Shunting trucks and hauling freight. Red and green and brown and blue, They're the Really Useful crew. All with different roles to play 'round Tidmouth Sheds or far away, Down the hills and round the bends, Thomas and his friends.

Thomas, he's the cheeky one, James is vain but lots of fun. Percy pulls the mail on time, Gordon thunders down the line. Emily really knows her stuff, Henry toots and huffs and puffs. Edward wants to help and share, Toby, well, let's say, he's square.

(chorus x2)

Calling All Engines version: (chorus)

All the engines are on hand, Waiting for a plane to land. Be they diesels, be they steam, All keep working as a team.

Emily will now go to bed With all the rest at Tidmouth Sheds. And no one can remember when Steamies worked with Diesel 10.

(chorus)

The Great Discovery version: (chorus)

Thomas, he's the cheeky one, James is vain but lots of fun. Percy pulls the mail on time, Gordon thunders down the line. Emily really knows her stuff, Henry toots and Edward puffs. Stanley, he's the new one there, Toby, well, let's say, he's square.

(chorus)
