Lyrics[]
- Take a look who's coming down the track,
- Make way for James, hooray for James.
- Shiny shiny paint with the jet-black stack,
- Make way for James, hooray for James.
- What it is for certain and we really should note,
- It's indisputable, but let's take a vote.
- He's the really splendid engine with the bright red coat.
- James, (eeee-ohhh)
- He can brag all day - how fast he goes,
- How good he looks - he's such a pose.
- But what about the time he got covered in mud?
- Oh, what a dope, what a dud!
- But up and down the line, you'll hear the others say,
- "Despite his vanity, he really is OK.
- Dependable, reliable, and seldom late,
- We all think James is great!"
- Speeding down the line like a lightning flash,
- Make way for James, hooray for James.
- Hang on to your hat as he whooshes past,
- Make way for James, hooray for James.
- He really knows how to stage a show,
- You gotta stand back and watch him go.
- He's the really splendid engine with the bright red coat.
- Look who's swanning it down the track.
- Make way for James, hooray for James.
- He never looks up, he never looks back,
- Make way for James, hooray for James.
- A tad conceited, and really quite vain,
- He knows we love him just the same.
- Take a look who's coming down the track,
- Make way for James, hooray for James.
- Shiny shiny paint with the jet-black stack,
- Make way for James, hooray for James.
- He's the really splendid engine, shiny, shiny engine.
- He's the really splendid engine, yep, that's our James!
- That's James!
