The Little Engine That Could

John Denver

    Continues after the ad

    There was a little railroad train with loads and loads of toys
    All starting out to find a home with little girls and boys
    And as that little railroad train began to chug along
    The little engine up in front was heard to sing this song
    Choo, choo, choo, choo
    Choo, choo, choo, choo
    I feel so good today
    Oh hear the track
    Oh clickety clack
    Ill go my merry way

    The little train went rousing on so fast it seemed to fly
    Until it reached a mountain that went almost to the sky
    The Little engine moaned and groaned and huffed and puffed away
    But halfway to the top it just gave up and seemed to say
    I cant go
    I cant go
    Im weary as can be
    I cant go
    I cant go
    This job is not for me

    The toys got out to push but all in vain alas alack
    And then a great big engine came a whistling down the track
    They asked if it would kindly pull them up the mountain side
    But with a high and mighty sneer it scornfully replied I
    Dont bother me
    Dont bother me
    To pull the likes of you
    Dont bother me
    Dont bother me
    Ive better things to do

    The toys all started crying cause that engine was so mean
    And then there came another one, the smallest ever seen
    And though it seemed that she could hardly pull herself along
    She hitched on to the train and as she pulled she sang this song
    I think I can
    I think I can
    I think I have a plan
    And I can do most anything
    If I only think I can

    Then up that great big mountain with the cars all full of toys
    And soon they reached the waiting arms of little girls and boy
    And though that ends the story it will do you lots of good
    To take a lesson from the little engine that could
    Just think you can
    Just think you can
    Just have that understood
    And very soon youll start to say
    I always knew I could
    I knew I could
    I knew I could
    I knew I could
    I knew I could
    I knew I could
    I knew I could, yeah!
