Thomas and Bertie/Thomas and Bertie's Great Race

Ringo Starr UK Version:

 * Ringo Starr: Thomas was waiting at a junction, when a bus arrived.
 * Thomas: Hello!
 * Ringo Starr: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: Who are you?
 * Bertie: I’m Bertie, who are you?
 * Thomas: I’m Thomas; I run this branch line.
 * Bertie: So you’re Thomas, eh? I remember now, you got stuck in the snow, I took your passengers and Terence the Tractor pulled you out. I’ve come to help you with your passengers today.
 * Thomas: Help me!
 * Ringo Starr: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: I can go faster than you.
 * Bertie: You can’t.
 * Ringo Starr: Said Bertie.
 * Thomas: I can.
 * Ringo Starr: Huffed Thomas.
 * Bertie: I’ll race you.
 * Ringo Starr: Said Bertie. Their Drivers agreed to the race going ahead. The Stationmaster said.
 * Stationmaster: Are you ready? – Go!
 * Ringo Starr: Thomas never could go fast at first, and Bertie drew in front.
 * Annie and Clarabel: Why don’t you go fast? Why don’t you go fast?
 * Ringo Starr: Called Annie and Clarabel.
 * Thomas: Wait and see, wait and see.
 * Ringo Starr: Hissed Thomas.
 * Annie and Clarabel: He’s a long way ahead.
 * Ringo Starr: They wailed, but Thomas didn’t mind. He remembered the level crossing. There was Bertie fuming at the gates while they sailed gaily through.
 * Thomas: Goodbye, Bertie.
 * Ringo Starr: Called Thomas. After that the road left the railway, so they couldn’t see Bertie. Then they had to stop at the station to let off passengers.
 * Thomas: Peep pip peep! Quickly, please!
 * Ringo Starr: Called Thomas, and off they went again.
 * Thomas: Come along! Come along!
 * Ringo Starr: Sang Thomas.
 * Annie and Clarabel: We’re coming along! We’re coming along!
 * Ringo Starr: Sang Annie and Clarabel.
 * Thomas: Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
 * Ringo Starr: Panted Thomas. Then he looked ahead - there was Bertie, tooting triumphantly on his horn!
 * Thomas: Oh, deary me! Oh, deary me!
 * Ringo Starr: Groaned Thomas.
 * Thomas’ Driver: Steady, Thomas.
 * Ringo Starr: Said his Driver.
 * Thomas’ Driver: We’ll beat Bertie yet.
 * Annie and Clarabel: We’ll beat Bertie yet; we’ll beat Bertie yet.
 * Ringo Starr: Echoed Annie and Clarabel.
 * Thomas: We’ll do it; We’ll do it.
 * Ringo Starr: Panted Thomas.
 * Thomas: Oh, bother, there’s a station.
 * Ringo Starr: Then he heard Bertie.
 * Bertie: Goodbye, Thomas, you must be tired. Sorry I can’t stop, we buses have to work you know. Goodbye!
 * Thomas: Oh, dear.
 * Ringo Starr: Thought Thomas.
 * Thomas: We’ve lost.
 * Ringo Starr: But he felt better after a drink. The signal dropped.
 * Thomas: Hurrah, we’re off! Hurrah, we’re off!
 * Ringo Starr: Puffed Thomas. As they crossed the bridge they heard an impatient.
 * Bertie: Honk, Honk.
 * Ringo Starr: There was Bertie waiting at the traffic lights. He started with a roar, and chased on after Thomas again. Now Thomas reached his full speed. Bertie tried hard, but Thomas was too fast; whistling triumphantly he plunged into the tunnel, leaving Bertie toiling far behind.
 * Thomas: I’ve done it! I’ve done it!
 * Ringo Starr: Panted Thomas.
 * Annie and Clarabel: We’ve done it, hooray! We’ve done it, hooray!
 * Ringo Starr: Chanted Annie and Clarabel; as they whooooshed into the last station. Everyone was there to celebrate Thomas’ victory. But they gave Bertie a big welcome too.
 * Bertie: Well done, Thomas.
 * Ringo Starr: Said Bertie.
 * Bertie: That was fun, but to beat you over that hill I should have to grow wings and be an aeroplane.
 * Ringo Starr: They now keep each other very busy. They often talk about their race. But Bertie’s passengers don’t like being bounced like peas in a frying-pan! And the Fat Controller has warned Thomas not to race at dangerous speeds. So although (between you and me) they would like to have another race, I don’t think they ever will. Do you?
