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.

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!
