[Verse 1]
You said I would wait for a train.
It just packed up with every thing.
You let me read a little book,
After I begged to take a look.

[Chorus]
And this book was called The Little Engine,
Who thinks it can, and it can.

[Verse 2]
The train was waiting for the next call one morning,
with another with freight cars moving.
Engines were asked to pull the train,
But they didn't, and they can't complain.

[Chorus]
And here they see the small Little Engine.
Who thinks it can, and it can.

[Verse 3]
The little engine has to take it slow,
To give those little cars a pull.
Someday, it will climb up on that hill.
Then do well, and do well, and do well...

[Chorus]
And they will cheer for the Little Engine.
Who thinks it can, and it can.
Yes, they will cheer for the Little Engine.
Who thinks it can, and it can.
