The Little Engine That Could - John Denver

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

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

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 can’t go

I can’t go

I’m weary as can be

I can’t go

I can’t 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
