Lyrics
Start the parade, get our fireboxes burning Start The Parade, blow our whistles loud and clear Start The Parade, Sir Topham is eager to show off all his engines The parade starts here

Follow James, he's handsome and red Follow James, he comes out of his shed And he loves to shine and he's steaming down the line delivering coal, in wonderful time!

Start the parade, get our fireboxes burning Start The Parade, blow our whistles loud and clear Start The Parade, Sir Topham is eager to show off all his engines The parade starts here

Follow Percy, he's young and he's green Follow Percy, you've never seen such a friendly engine, steaming to please such a friendly engine, everybody agrees!

Start the parade, get our fireboxes burning Start The Parade, blow our whistles loud and clear Start The Parade, Sir Topham is eager to show off all his engines The parade starts here!

Sir Topham Hatt: Come on everybody, wave those flags really high!

Follow Thomas, he's shiny and blue Follow Thomas, he's rolling on through And with Annie and Clarabel and his work is done He's a really useful engine, and he's joining the fun!

Start the parade, get our fireboxes burning Start The Parade, blow our whistles loud and clear Start The Parade, Sir Topham is eager to show off all his engines The parade starts here!

Start the parade Sir Topham is eager to show off all his engines,

the parade.. starts.... Here!
