Lyrics
- Verse 1:
- Good morning sunshine, brand new day
- Busy day for the railway
- Engines rolling to and fro-ing
- Rushing by on the railway
- But today is a special day for
- Have you heard the news?
- Something special is happening, happening
- Have you heard the news?
- Have you heard, pass the word, have you heard
- Chorus A:
- There are five new engines in the shed
- Five new friends in the shed
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
- Can you believe your eyes?
- Five new engines in the shed
- Celebrate the big surprise
- And raise the banners high
- For the five new engines, great new engines
- Five new engines in the shed
- Verse 2:
- Emily, with her coaches green, is a joy to be seen on the railway
- Harvey with his crane looks strange, but he'll take the strain on the railway
- Salty is the dockside diesel, he'll tell a tale or two
- Arthur too, is shy but true, he'll be there for you
- Look, there's Murdoch. He's so big and strong. He'll just go on and on.
- Chorus B:
- There are five new engines in the shed
- Five new friends in the shed
- Welcome to one and all
- Everybody say hello
- Five new friends in the shed

- So let us raise a cheer
- For the five new engines, great new engines
- Five new engines in the shed
- Chorus A (Reprise):
- Five new engines in the shed
- Five new friends in the shed
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
