1
There was a little railroad train with loads and loads of toys
2
All starting out to find a home with little girls and boys
3
And as that little railroad train began to chug along
4
The little engine up in front was heard to sing this song
5
Choo choo, choo choo, choo choo, choo choo, I feel so good today
6
Oh, clear the track, oh clickety clack, I?ll go my merry way
7
The little train went roaring on, so fast, it seemed to fly
8
Until it reached a mountain rising almost to the sky
9
The little engine moaned and groaned and huffed and puffed away
10
But halfway to the top it just gave up and seemed to say
11
I can't go on, I can't go on, I'm weary as can be
12
I can't go on, I can't go on, this job is not for me
13
The toys got out to push but all in vain alas, alack
14
And then a great big engine came a whistling down the track
15
They asked if it would kindly pull them up the mountain side
16
But with a high and mighty sneer it scornfully replied
17
don't bother me, don't bother me to pull the likes of you
18
Don't bother me, don't bother me, I've better things to do
19
The toys all started crying ?cause that engine was so mean
20
And then there came another one, the smallest ever seen
21
But though it seemed that she could hardly pull herself along
22
She hitched on to the train and as she pulled she sang this song
23
I think I can, I think I can, I think I have a plan
24
And I can do 'most anything if I only think I can
25
Then up that great big mountain with the cars all full of toys
26
And soon they reached the waiting arms of happy girls and boy
27
And though that ends the story it will do you lots of good
28
To take a lesson from the little engine that could
29
Just think you can, just think you can, just have that understood
30
And very soon you'll start to say, I always knew I could
31
I knew I could, I knew I could, I knew I could
32
I knew I could, I knew I could, I knew I could, I knew I could
