John Denver - The Little Engine That Could lyrics



(MayFoster)
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 move 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 clickity clack, I'll 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.

don't bother me, don't bother me, I've better things to do.

And though it seemed that she could hardly pull herself along,
she hitched on to the front and as she pulled and 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 boys.
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 th
