I met an engine on the road,
All hot and heavy Hearted,
And this is what he said to me
As up the hill he started
"I think I can,
I think I can,
I think I can,
I think I can
I think I can
I think, I think I can
At any rate I'll try it"
"He reached the top and looking back
To where I stood and doubted
He started on the downward track
And this is what he shouted
"I said I could
I said I could
I said I could
I said I could
I said I could
I said I said, I could
My friend you might have known it"
