Pop Goes the Diesel

Ringo Starr UK Version:

 * Ringo Starr: Duck is very proud of being Great Western. He talks endlessly about it. But he works hard too and makes everything go like clockwork. It was a splendid day. The trucks and coaches behaved well, the passengers even stopped grumbling! But the engines didn’t like having to bustle about.
 * Duck: There are two ways of doing things.
 * Ringo Starr: Duck told them.
 * Duck: The Great Western way, or the wrong way. I’m Great Western and…
 * Henry, Gordon and James: Don’t we know it!
 * Ringo Starr: They groaned. The engines were glad when a visitor came. He purred smoothly towards them. The Fat Controller introduced him.
 * The Fat Controller: Here is Diesel, I have agreed to give him a trial. He needs to learn. Please teach him, Duck.
 * Diesel: Good morning.
 * Ringo Starr: Purred Diesel in an oily voice.
 * Diesel: Please to meet you, Duck. Is that James? – and Henry? – and Gordon too? I am delighted to meet such famous engines.
 * Ringo Starr: The silly engines were flattered.
 * Henry, Gordon, James and Percy: He has very good manners.
 * Ringo Starr: They murmured.
 * Henry, Gordon, James and Percy: We are pleased to have him in our Yard.
 * Ringo Starr: Duck had his doubts.
 * Duck: Come on!
 * Ringo Starr: He said. Diesel purred after him.
 * Diesel: Your worthy Fat…
 * Duck: Sir Topham Hatt to you.
 * Ringo Starr: Ordered Duck. Diesel looked hurt.
 * Diesel: Your worthy Sir Topham Hatt thinks I need to learn. He is mistaken. We Diesels don’t need to learn. We know everything. We come to a yard and improve it. We are revolutionary.
 * Duck: Oh!
 * Ringo Starr: Said Duck.
 * Duck: If you’re revo-thingummy, perhaps you would collect my trucks, while I fetch Gordon’s coaches.
 * Ringo Starr: Diesel, delighted to show off, purred away. When Duck returned Diesel was trying to take some trucks from a siding. They were old and empty. They had not been touched for a long time. Diesel found them hard to move. Pull – Push – Backwards – Forwards.
 * Trucks: Oheeeer! Oheeeer!
 * Ringo Starr: The trucks groaned.
 * Trucks: We can’t! We won’t!
 * Ringo Starr: Duck watched with interest. Diesel lost patience.
 * Diesel: GrrrrrRRRRRrrrrrRRRRR!
 * Ringo Starr: He roared, he gave a great heave. The trucks jerked forward.
 * Trucks: Oher! Oher!
 * Ringo Starr: They screamed.
 * Trucks: We can’t! We WON’T!
 * Ringo Starr: Some of their brakes snapped, and the gear jammed in the sleepers.
 * Diesel: GrrrrrRRRRRrrrrrRRRRRrrrrrRRRRR!
 * Duck: Ho! Ho! Ho!
 * Ringo Starr: Chuckled Duck. Diesel recovered and tried to push the trucks back; but they wouldn’t move. Duck ran quietly round to collect the other trucks.
 * Duck: Thank you for arranging these, Diesel, I must go now.
 * Diesel: Don’t you want this lot?
 * Duck: No thank you.
 * Ringo Starr: Diesel gulped.
 * Diesel: And I’ve taken all this trouble. Why didn’t you tell me?
 * Duck: You never asked me. Besides.
 * Ringo Starr: Said Duck.
 * Duck: You were having such fun being revo-whatever-it-was-you-said. Goodbye.
 * Diesel: GrrrrrRRRRRrrrrrRRRRR!
 * Ringo Starr: Diesel had to help the workmen clear the mess. He hated it. All the trucks were laughing and singing at him.
 * Trucks: Trucks are waiting in the Yard; tackling them with ease’ll “Show the world what I can do,” gaily boasts the Diesel. In and out he creeps about, like a big black weasel. When he pulls the wrong trucks out – Pop goes the Diesel!
 * Diesel: Grrrrr!
 * Ringo Starr: Growled Diesel, and scuttled away to sulk in the Shed.
