Ghost Train/Percy's Ghostly Trick

Ringo Starr UK Version:

 * Percy: …And every year on the date of the accident it runs again, as a warning to others. Plunging into the gap, shrieking like a lost soul.
 * Thomas: Percy, what are you talking about?
 * Percy: The Ghost Train. Driver saw it last night.
 * Thomas and Toby: Where?
 * Ringo Starr: Asked Thomas and Toby.
 * Percy: He didn’t say. Oooh! It makes my wheels wobble to think of it!
 * Thomas: Pooh!
 * Ringo Starr: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: You’re just a silly little engine. I’m not scared.
 * Percy: Thomas didn’t believe in your ghost.
 * Ringo Starr: Said Percy next morning. His Driver laughed.
 * Percy’s Driver: Neither do I. It was a “pretend” ghost on television.
 * Ringo Starr: Percy was disappointed. That evening he came back from the harbour. Percy knew where he was, even in the dark.
 * Percy: Crowe’s Farm Crossing. We shan’t be long now.
 * Ringo Starr: He liked running at night. The rails hummed, and the signal light shone green. But a broken cart load of lime lay ahead. Sam the farmer had just gone for help. Percy broke the cart to smithereens, lime flew everywhere. He puffed quickly to the nearest signal box. Percy’s Driver explained what had happened.
 * Signalman: I’ll see to it.
 * Ringo Starr: Said the Signalman.
 * Signalman: But you’d better clean Percy, or people will think he’s a ghost!
 * Ringo Starr: Percy chuckled.
 * Percy: Do let’s pretend I’m a ghost, and scare Thomas. That’ll teach him to say I’m a silly little engine!
 * Ringo Starr: Toby promised to help. Thomas was being “oiled up” for his evening train.
 * Toby: Percy’s had an accident.
 * Ringo Starr: Cried Toby.
 * Thomas: Poor engine!
 * Ringo Starr: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: Botheration! That means I’ll be late.
 * Toby: They’ve cleared the line for you, but there’s something worse –
 * Thomas: Out with it, Toby. I can’t wait all evening.
 * Toby: – I’ve just seen something.
 * Ringo Starr: Said Toby.
 * Toby: It looked like Percy’s ghost. It said it w-was coming here t-to warn us.
 * Thomas: Pooh! Who care? Don’t be frightened, Toby. I’ll take care of you.
 * Percy: Peeeeep! peeeeeeeeeeeep! pip! pip! pip! Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep! Let me in! Let me in!
 * Ringo Starr: Wailed Percy.
 * Toby: No, no! Not by the smoke of my chimney, chim chim!
 * Percy: I’ll chuff and I’ll puff, and I’ll break your door in!
 * Thomas: Oh dear!
 * Ringo Starr: Exclaimed Thomas.
 * Thomas: It’s getting late… Oh! I’d no idea… Oh! I must find Annie and Clarabel…
 * Ringo Starr: It was morning when Thomas returned.
 * Toby: Where have you been?
 * Ringo Starr: Asked Toby.
 * Thomas: Ah well.
 * Ringo Starr: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: I knew you’d be sad about Percy, and I – er – I didn’t like to intrude. I slept in the Goods Shed, and…
 * (Thomas and Toby then hear Percy’s ghostly whistle.)
 * Thomas: Oh! Sorry… can’t stop… got to see a coach about a train.
 * Ringo Starr: Percy was none the worse for his adventure and was still enjoying himself enormously. He had heard everything.
 * Percy: Well! Well! Well! What d’you know about that?
 * Toby: Anyone would think.
 * Ringo Starr: Chuckled Toby.
 * Toby: That our Thomas had just seen a ghost!
