mr conductor

ah hello

something in the mail today no no i mean

why would i be expecting a valentine's

mail in the day i mean a valentine's

mail in the card i mean what

gee miss jones you know i hadn't even

actually even noticed actually that it

was even valentine's day yeah well it is

it's about time today

well thank you for sorting the mail

bye-bye

uh

miss jones uh

what is the uh spirit of valentine's day

love

and wouldn't you just

love to buy some valentine's candy

schemer i recognize that candy from last

year

well it ages really

looks like there'll be plenty of work

for the mail train today

hi mr conductor that's because

everyone's sending valentine's cards do

they have valentine's cards on the

island of sodor oh indeed they do and

male trains as well but the other day

they thought they wouldn't have them

anymore

valentine's cards no mail trains i'll

tell you about it

at night when the other engines are

tucked away in their sheds you can still

hear the faraway call of an engine's

whistle and the clickety-clack of train

wheels turning

this is the sound of the mail train

one train is pulled by thomas and the

other by percy as the loads are too

heavy for one engine to do the work

alone

the male is loaded into freight cars at

the harbors and the engines pull their

trains through the silent stations

delivering their precious loads

[Music]

on a clear night a big shiny moon

brightens their journey but often thomas

and percy can't even see the stars

but whatever the weather lamps along the

track always light their way

one night percy was waiting at the

junction the mainline train was late

[Music]

at last henry arrived

sorry he puffed the male boat from the

mainland was delayed

come on percy said his driver let's make

up for lost time

percy puffed along as quickly as he

could

but the sun was already rising as he

finished his work

[Music]

never mind thought person it's nice to

be up and about when it's the start of a

new day and there's no one else around

percy was not alone for long

bother said percy it's that dizzy thing

harold good morning word harold i always

said railways were out of date but

you're so slow with the mail you should

give everyone their stamps back percy

was too tired to explain

bird brain he muttered

good morning percy call duck

you're up early this morning no you're

wrong side percy i'm back tired and late

he rolled into the shed and fell asleep

almost before his buffers touched the

bar

[Music]

his driver decided to set off early that

evening thomas was waiting at the

station

thank goodness i have a chance to speak

to you driver says that the person in

charge of the mail has complained to sir

topham hatt about the delay last night

but that wasn't my fault replied percy

i know said thomas and so does sir

topham hatt but this male person

wouldn't listen tonight we'll just have

to be quicker than ever before

the engines were just leaving when they

heard a familiar buzzing i say you two

there's news flying about

where

puffed percy crossley all over the place

they're going to scrap the mail train

and use me instead wings work wonders

you know

always rubbish huff thomas

that night everything ran like clockwork

thomas and percy steamed through the

stations making good time everywhere

they went

at a station thomas noticed a man

looking cold and worried he had missed

his train home we can give you a ride

said thomas's driver but it will be

rather uncomfortable

thank you said the man anything's better

than sitting here

[Music]

the next afternoon percy passed the

airfield and saw harold hello lazy wings

are you too tired to fly today

the wind's too strong grumbled harold

i've been grounded

you need rails laughed percy they work

wonders you know always

that night sir topham hatt showed the

two engines a letter it was from the man

who missed his train he thinks you are

both splendid and everyone says that the

mail train is the pride of the line

[Music]

so on the islands of sodor the mail

still goes by train indeed it does becky

even the valentine's cards certainly

well happy valentine's day mr conductor

goodness gracious it's late isn't it

i've got to go oh my my excuse me well

bye

valentine's day is very hard on me it's

a lot of trouble and hard work opening

cards from hundreds of admirers well on

valentine's day in my neighborhood they

just wrap a big red ribbon around the

post office box and say come and get it

grace it's all yours

[Music]

mr conductor is that you

what's name

the spirit of love

well not exactly i'm cupid's helper just

for today it's a yearly responsibility i

have are you gonna sh**t someone with an

arrow yeah oh no perish the thought i

much prefer to use this new improved

magical miracle love dust one sprinkle

of this stuff and a person is bound to

fall madly in love with the next person

he or she needs

[Music]

experience
