When all the cows were sleeping
And the sun has gone to bed
Up jumped the scarecrow
And this is what he said
Chorus: I'm a dingle, dangle scarecrow
With a flippy, floppy hat
I can shake my hands like this
And shake my feet like that
When all the cows were sleeping
And the moon behind a cloud
Up jumped the scarecrow
And shouted very loud
Chorus: I'm a dingle, dangle scarecrow
With a flippy, floppy hat
I can shake my hands like this
And shake my feet like that
When all the cows were sleeping
And the pigeons in the loft
Up jumped the scarecrow
And whispered very soft
Chorus: I'm a dingle, dangle scarecrow
With a flippy, floppy hat
I can shake my hands like this
And shake my feet like that
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool? lovely
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.

And one for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool? lovely
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.
One for the master,
And one the dame,
And one for the little girl
Who lives down the lane
The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
"O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
What a wonderful Pussy you are, you are,
What a wonderful Pussy you are."

What did her blue eyes see?
A chair that was huge, A chair that was small,

What did her blue eyes see?
A bed that was huge, A bed that was small,
A bed that was tiny and that was all, She counted them: one, two, three.

And Jill came tumbling after

He went to bed and bumped his head,
And he couldn’t get up in the morning.

THE TANK ENGINE
& FRIENDS
BASED ON THE RAILWAY SERIES
BY THE REV. W. AWDRY
THOMAS
& GORDON
TOLD BY
RINGO STARR
DIRECTED BY
DAVID MITTON
Transcript[]
Ringo Starr: Thomas is a tank engine who lives at the big station on the Island of Sodor. He's a cheeky little engine with six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler and a short stumpy dome. He's a fussy little engine too. Always pulling coaches about, ready for the big engines to take on long journeys; and when trains come in, he pulls the empty coaches away so that the big engines can go on rest. Thomas thinks no engine works as hard as he does. He loves playing tricks on them, including Gordon the biggest and proudest engine of all. Thomas likes whistling rudely at him.
Thomas: Wake up, lazybones! Why don't you work hard like me?
Ringo Starr: One day after pulling the big express, Gordon had arrived back at the sidings very tired. He was just going to sleep when Thomas came up in his cheeky way.
Thomas: Wake up, lazybones, do some hard work for a change - You can't catch me!
Ringo Starr: And off he ran laughing. Instead of going to sleep again, Gordon thought how he could get back at Thomas. One morning Thomas wouldn't wake up. His Driver and Fireman couldn't make him start. His fire went out and there was not enough steam. It was nearly time for the express. People were waiting, but the coaches weren't ready. At last Thomas started.
Thomas: Oh, dear! Oh, dear!
Ringo Starr: He yawned. He fussed into the station where Gordon was waiting.
Gordon: Hurry up, you.
Ringo Starr: Said Gordon.
Thomas: Hurry yourself.
Ringo Starr: Replied Thomas. Gordon began making his plan.
Gordon: Yes.
Ringo Starr: Said Gordon.
Gordon: I will.
Ringo Starr: And almost before the coaches had stopped moving Gordon reversed quickly and was coupled to the train.
Gordon: Get in quickly, please.
Ringo Starr: He whistled. Thomas usually pushed behind the big trains to help them start, but he was always uncoupled first. This time, Gordon start so quickly they forgot to uncouple Thomas. Gordon's chance had come.
Gordon: Come on! come on!
Ringo Starr: Puffed Gordon to the coaches. The train went faster and faster; too fast for Thomas. He wanted to stop, but he couldn't.
Thomas: Peep! Peep! Stop! Stop!
Gordon: Hurry, hurry, hurry.
Ringo Starr: Laughed Gordon.
Coaches: You can't get away. You can't get away.
Ringo Starr: Laughed the coaches. Poor Thomas was going faster than he had ever gone before. He was out of breath and his wheels hurt him, but he had to go on.
Thomas: I shall never be the same again.
Ringo Starr: He thought sadly.
Thomas: My wheels will be quite worn out.
Ringo Starr: At last, they stopped at a station. Thomas was uncoupled and he felt very silly and exhausted. Next he went on to a turntable thinking of everyone laughing at him and then he ran on to a siding out of the way.
Gordon: Well, little Thomas.
Ringo Starr: Chuckled Gordon.
Gordon: Now you know what hard work means, don't you?
Ringo Starr: Poor Thomas couldn't answer, he had no breath. He just puffed slowly away to rest, and had a long, long drink. He went home very slowly, and was careful afterwards never to be cheeky to Gordon again.

Transcript[]
Ringo Starr: One day, Edward was in the sheds where he lived with the other engines. They were all bigger than Edward, and boasted about it.
Gordon: The driver won't choose you again.
Ringo Starr: Said Gordon.
Gordon: He wants strong engines like us.
Ringo Starr: But the driver and fireman felt sorry for Edward.
Edward's Driver: Would you like to come out today?
Edward: Oh, yes, please.
Ringo Starr: Said Edward, So they lit his fire, made lots of steam, and Edward puffed away. The other engines were very cross at being left behind. Edward worked hard all day. The coaches thought he was very kind, and the driver was very pleased.
Edward: I'm going out again tomorrow.
Ringo Starr: Edward told the other engines that night.
Edward: What do you think of that?
Ringo Starr: But he didn't hear what they thought, for he was so tired and happy that he fell asleep at once. Next morning, Edward woke to find nothing had changed. Gordon was still boasting.
Gordon: You watch me, little Edward, as I rush through with the Express. That will be a splendid sight for you. Goodbye, little Edward. Look out for me this afternoon.
Ringo Starr: Edward went off to do some shunting. Edward liked shunting. It was fun playing with trucks. He would come out quietly and gave them a push. Then he would stop, and the silly trucks will go bump into the each other.
Trucks: Oh!
Ringo Starr: They cried.
Trucks: Whatever is happening?
Ringo Starr: Edward played till there were no more trucks, then he stopped to rest. Presently, he heard a whistle. Gordon was very cross. Instead of nice shining coaches, he was pulling a lot of very dirty trucks.
Gordon: A goods train! A goods train! A goods train!
Ringo Starr: He grumbled.
Gordon: The shame of it, the shame of it, oh, the shame of it!
Ringo Starr: Edward laughed and went to find some more trucks. Then, there was trouble.
Porter: Gordon can't get up the hill.
Ringo Starr: The porter called to Edward's driver.
Porter: Will you take Edward and push him, please?
Ringo Starr: They found Gordon halfway up and very cross. His driver and fireman were talking to him severely.
Gordon's Driver and Fireman: You're not trying.
Gordon: I can't do it.
Ringo Starr: Said Gordon.
Gordon: The noisy trucks hold an engine back, so.
Ringo Starr: Edward's driver came up.
Edward's Driver: We've come to push.
Gordon: No use at all.
Ringo Starr: Said Gordon.
Edward's Driver: You wait and see.
Ringo Starr: Replied Edward's driver. They brought the train back to the bottom of the hill.
Edward: I'm ready.
Ringo Starr: Said Edward.
Gordon: No good.
Ringo Starr: Grumbled Gordon. They pulled and pushed as hard as they could.
Gordon: I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it!
Ringo Starr: Puffed Gordon.
Edward: I will do it, I will do it, I will do it!
Ringo Starr: Puffed Edward. Edward pushed and puffed and puffed and pushed as hard as ever he could, and almost before he realized it, Gordon found himself at the top of the hill.
Gordon: I've done it! I've done it! I've done it!
Ringo Starr: He said proudly. He forgot all about Edward and didn't wait to say "thank you". Edward was left out of breath and far behind. He ran on to the next station, and there, he found that the driver and fireman were very pleased with him. The fireman gave him a nice long drink, and the driver said.
Edward's Driver: I'll get out my paint tomorrow and give you a beautiful coat of blue with red stripes. Then you'll be the smartest engine in the shed.
