Jimmy the Jinty Song

Jimmy the Jinty is his name
Small steam engine that's his game
Whistling, steaming all day long
He chugs along and sings this song
Guzzling water, burning coal
Getting steam up that's my goal

Get you to your station fast
I'm the best little engine in my class

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy Jintee Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy that's me

Now Jimmy lives on the ELR
12 miles of track, can't go too far.
Pulls midweek trains, works weekends too.
He's waiting for a visit from you!

Guzzling water, burning coal
Getting steam up that's my goal
Get you to your station fast

I'm the best little engine in my class
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy Jintee Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy that's me

He picks up speed on the downhill run,
Rawtenstall to Bury, here we come!
Over the "Ski Jump" chug along slow!
Then Bury to Heywood, off we go

Guzzling water, burning coal
Getting steam up that's my goal
Get you to your station fast

I'm the best little engine in my class
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy Jintee Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy that's me

Jimmy Jinty is the best
So why not put him to the test
Tickets please,
all aboard
A bygone journey is assured


Jimmy (x12) ....................... JINTY!
