I didn't know. What are we waiting

for? Come on, let's go!

We're wasting time, let's get going

Get them apple trees growing

There's a lot of work up there to do

There's a lot of work to do!

Now you know why,

whenever I see that certain sky,

I think of little John.

If you recall, them clouds

ain't really clouds at all.

They're apple blossoms if you please

from John's heavenly orchard

of apple trees.

And some day

there'll be apples there

For everyone in the world to share

The Lord is good to me!

There's drama, excitement

and harmony for three

in this story of adventure

on the sea.

Featured in this epic

is a ship of proud design.

It's not this ocean liner,

we take a different line.

With a huff, a puff, a chug-chug-chug

and a perky little hoot,

we introduce our hero,

the tugboat, Little Toot.

Little Toot was just a tug

A happy harbour tug

He came from a line

of tugboats fine and brave

But it seems that Little Toot

Simply didn 't give a hoot

Though he tried to be good

He never could behave

Heave-ho, my lad!

I'm a big toot just like my dad

Pull big boats with a yo-heave-ho

And away we go

Chug-a-chug-chug-chug

He made the ocean liners wait

While he made a figure 8

With the greatest of ease

He cut through the seas

He went too far one day

He slid in Big Toot's way

And it wasn 't a joke

For it nearly broke Big Toot's pride

Won 't you ever grow up, Little Toot?

Won 't you ever grow up, Little Toot?

When there's work to be done

All you think of is fun

Won 't you ever grow up, Little Toot?

Little Toot had quite a scare

He decided then and there

That he'd try to be good

As good as he could be

So when his dad came puffing slow

With a mighty ship in tow

Little Toot went to help him

Take it out to sea

Heave-ho, my lad!

I'm a big toot just like my dad

Push big boats with a yo-heave-ho!

And away we go!

Chug-a-chug-chug-chug

Won 't you ever grow up, Little Toot?

Won 't you ever grow up, Little Toot?

When you get into trouble

You get into it double

Won 't you ever grow up, Little Toot?

What a shame, what a shame

You've disgraced your father's name

Won 't you ever grow up

Little Toot?

1 2 MILE LIMI Bad boy!

Shame!

Too bad!

He was drifting all around

When a storm came crashing down

In the billowing sea he tossed

He was filled with fear

He knew the rocks were near

With the waves in pursuit

Little Toot knew all was lost

Then he saw a rocket's flare

Bursting in the air

And he suddenly knew

That he must do or die

A ship was in distress

As he puffed an SOS

He raced to the rescue

Of the ship nearby

Try!

Do or die!

It seems you've grown up, Little Toot

Toot toot!

You're a brave
