Misty Island Rescue, here we go (here we go)
With boilers all a-bubbling
The engines are a-coming
Misty Island Rescue, here we go (here we go)
Searching through the tunnels one by one
Searching through the tunnels one by one
Whiff and Percy hunting
Searching through the tunnels one by one (one by one)
Bash, Dash, Ferdinand
They're the Logging Locos
Always there to lend a hand
Thomas has to make amends
So he needs his brand new friends today
Help in every way!
Edward, James and Gordon on the way (on the way)
Edward, James and Gordon on the way (on the way)
Steaming across the ocean
The rescue is in motion
Edward, James and Gordon on the way (on the way)
Bash, Dash, Ferdinand
They're the Logging Locos
Always there to lend a hand
Thomas has to make amends
So he needs his brand new friends today
Help in every way!
Misty Island Rescue, here we go (here we go)
