Toby is a song from the fourth season dedicated to Toby and Henrietta. It is based on Toby's theme.
Lyrics
North of the Island, there lives a dear old train,
a little tram engine, Toby is his name.
He's quaint and old fashioned, but careful and wise.
His coach is Henrietta and she’s seen better days.
His mind keeps returning to the good old days
When they were busy
working everyday.
But nobody rides with them nowadays.
They can't understand why things have changed.
Their line is closing down today, forever.
Toby, oh Toby,
What will become of you?
The world's much nicer whenever we see you.
Toby, dear Toby,
There's still lots
That you can do
Oldies but Goldies, we still care about you.
All of the children came to say goodbye
They clapped and cheered
As Toby rang his bell, “Bye bye.”
Everyone was sad to see them go
Whatever will they do,
And where will they go?
Suddenly news came
To brighten up their day
How Toby and Henrietta
Were needed right away
The Fat Controller had written to say
Could they please come
And help right away.
Now they're part of his family
Forever
Toby, oh Toby,
Show them what you can do
The world's much nicer whenever we see you.
Toby, dear Toby,
There's so much to learn from you.
Oldies but Goldies, we still care about you.
Oldies but Goldies, we still care for you.
