Lyrics[]
- It was a long time ago
- In the heart of Italy
- An engine kept on searching
- For a great discovery
- With his little coach in tow
- He travelled from Rome to Napoli
- Hunting high and low to feed his curiosity
- Ended up in a mine
- In hopes of hidden treasures rare
- Quickly ran out of steam
- And he soon got stuck in there
- Oh, it's such a sad tale
- Full of woe and misery
- A legendary story of an engine who famously
- Got lost in a mine
- But I tell you it is fine
- That lost engine
- Was little old me
- He came from Sodor
- To work the rails of Italy
- He wanted to learn Italian
- And archaeology
- But then working with Gina
- Showed his curiosity
- So she told him a tale of an engine who famously
- Got lost in a mine
- But I tell you it is fine
- That lost engine
- Was little old me
- But Thomas didn't give up
- He wanted to prove his worth
- To impress his friend by finding
- Something precious to unearth
- So he went down some tracks which were clearly overgrown
- Found himself in a mine, he was told
- All tracks lead to Rome
- But then Thomas heard a voice
- He knew he wasn't there alone
- Could it be the lost engine?
- Or just his own echo
- He shone a light which landed
- On a sad and weary two
- It was me and my coach Beppe
- Hidden deep in the shadow
- Oh joy, it was our hero
- He had come to rescue me
- And Beppe of course
- So now two friends are three
- Thomas gave me fuel
- Which made me as fit as Fiddledeedee
- But the mine was collapsing
- Can this be my finale?
- So Thomas pushed us through
- The mines of mystery
- Straight through an exit
- Left us hanging by the sea
- But Stefano was there
- With the strength of Hercules
- Pulled us out from the dark
- Into the heart of Italy
- Yes I was lost in a mine
- But I tell you it was fine
- That lost engine
- Was little old me
- A tale for all to tell
- Of a legend long ago
- Who became Italy's
- Most famous celebrity!
- That's me!
