Sir Topham Hatt

His name is Sir Topham Hatt
Some people say he’s… Stout!
Rather rotund, really quite round
But he doesn’t see it like that
He considers he’s a gentleman of merit
With a railway exquisitely fine
But his main aim is to see that his trains
Run right on time
Sir Top, Sir Topham Hatt
He’s the head of the railway
There is no doubt about that
Controller of the line
It’s as plain as plain can be
For everyone to see that it’s
The Fat Controller’s Railway
One day he was having breakfast
When Thomas decided to call
He arrived unexpected and quite uninvited
Straight through the dining room wall!
«My goodness!» said the Controller
«Why didn’t you knock on the door?
This won’t do at all, just look at my wall
And my breakfast’s on the floor»
Sir Top, Sir Topham Hatt
He’s the head of the railway
There is no doubt about that
Controller of the line
It’s as plain as plain can be
For everyone to see that it’s
The Fat Controller’s Railway
He’s so proud of his engines, each and every one
And though he’s strict and meticulous, favourites he has none
If ever there is trouble. you know who will be there
If there’s ever a crash, a smash or a muddle
He’s there on the double, no trouble
'Cause it’s The Fat Controller’s Railway
When Henry stayed in the tunnel
Everyone tried to push
But Sir Topham Hatt would have none of that
«My doctor has forbidden me to push!»
And one day the wind blew his hat off
A goat in the field saw his chance…
He just picked up the hat, said: «Thank you for that!»
And ate it up for lunch
Sir Top, Sir Topham Hatt
He’s the head of the railway
There is no doubt about that
Controller of the line
It’s as plain as plain can be
For everyone to see that it’s
The Fat Controller’s Railway
Sir Top, Sir Topham Hatt
