("Thomas and
Friends Theme Song")
- [[Narrator] Percy puffed
grumpily into the yards.
He was feeling put
upon, and said so.
"I feel put upon," he
complained to Thomas.
Thomas was confused.
"Put upon what, the rails?"
"No, put upon with work.
"Driver says he is too."
"Put upon, what a silly
saying," replied Thomas.
But Annie and Clarabel liked it,
and they sang about it too.
♪ Percy's been put upon,
put upon, put upon ♪
♪ Percy's been put
upon, poor old Percy ♪

"Percy is being put upon.
"I am, I am, I am!"
(bright music)
He collected metal
from the foundry.
(bright music)
Coal from the yards.
(train whistling)
Flour from the mills.
(bright music)
Rock from the quarries.
(bright music)
And fuel from the depot.
(bright music)
Then he delivered
it all to the docks.
(bright music)
(steam blowing)
Next, he collected some
empty freight cars.
"Who's this dirty little
engine?" cried the freight cars.
"We want Thomas or Duck."
Percy ignored them.
Put upon, put upon,
that's what I am.
That night, all the
engines laughed at him.
(trains whistling)
"We can see what's been
put upon you," said Thomas.
"Silence," said Sir Topham Hatt.
"Percy you've done
a good day's work.
"Now get a good night's rest."
"Yes sir, thank you sir."
Next morning, he took some
freight cars to the coal yards.
Then he had to push empty
freight cars to the mineshaft.
When he arrived,
there was trouble.
The foreman spoke to his driver.
"The freight cars are
stuck in the mechanism.
"All they need is a good push."
"We'll do it right away."
(train whistle blowing)
(train rumbling)
Percy shunted back to where
a large canvas barrier
was used to protect his
line from loose rocks.
Percy charged to the
line of freight cars
too fast, and too hard.
"Oh no!" gasped Percy.
The freight cars broke free,
but ran out of control
to the mines below.
(dramatic music)
"On, on, faster, faster!" the
silly freight cars yelled.
(dramatic music)
Then there was trouble again.
(train bangs)
(coal clattering)
(ground vibrating)
"Get out of here fast!
"The mine's collapsing!"
(siren wailing)
(expl*si*n booming)
"We'll just have to make
a run for it, Percy,"
called his driver.
"There's going to be an
avalanche," wailed Percy.
And he was right.
(dramatic music)
Worse still, the track he
was on began to crumble.
(dramatic music)
"Oh, help!" wailed Percy.
(dramatic music)
(rocks clattering)
Then he remembered something
he had seen earlier.
"There's a canvas
barrier by the track.
"That might save us."
They were just in time.
(rocks clattering)
(dramatic music)
Percy was right, the canvas
did indeed save them.
But the miners didn't know that.
"The avalanche has buried
an engine and it's crew!"
shouted the foreman.
"We must help them!"
(bright music)
When Percy had been rescued,
Sir Topham Hatt spoke to
his driver and fireman,
then to Percy.
"Driver told me how
brave you were, Percy.
"As a reward you will be
repainted at the Works."
"Oh, thank you sir."
(train rumbling)
(train whistling)
When he returned, Percy's
coat glistened in the sun.
"I'm sorry we teased
you, Percy," said Thomas.
"You were certainly put
upon by that avalanche."
"Yes, indeed, but just look
at my new coat of paint.
"Now, I don't mind that
being put upon me."
