I Would Puff 500 Miles | Feat.

“I won away here with Donald; but I’d’ve been feared to do it on my own.”
- Douglas The Scottish Twin (1968)

LYRICS:
When I wake up, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the twin who wakes up next to you
When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the twin who goes along with you

If I’m shunting, well, I know I'm gonna be
I’m gonna’ be the twin who’s shunting next to you,
If I’m a banker, yeah I know I’m gonna’ be,
I’m gonna’ be the twin who’ll bank your train for you

But I would puff five hundred miles
And I would puff five hundred more
Just to be the twin who puffed a thousand miles
From Scotland to Sodor!

When I'm workin', yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the twin who's workin' hard with you
And if an engine, needs help from the salvage crew,
I’m gonna’ be the twin to save the day with you

When I come home (When I come home), Oh I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the twin who comes back home to you
And in the cold, well I know I'm gonna’ be
I'm gonna be the twin who's ploughing snow with you

But I would puff five hundred miles
And I would puff five hundred more
Just to be the twin who puffed a thousand miles
To find your missing coach!

Da-da da da (Da-da da da) (X2)
Da-da da dum
Diddle dum diddle dum diddle da da da
(X2)

When I'm lonely, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the twin who's lonely without you
And when I'm steamin’, well, I know I'm gonna dream
Of when I’m steamin’ down the line when I'm with you

When there’s trouble (When there’s trouble), and the job requires two,
I’m gonna’ be the twin who goes along with you,
And where I call home (Where I call home), yes, I know I'm gonna be
I’m gonna’ be the twin who calls it home with you,
I’m gonna’ be the twin who calls it home with you!

But I would puff five hundred miles
And I would puff five hundred more
Just to be the twin who puffed a thousand miles
With you to Castle Loch!

Da-da da da (Da-da da da) (X2)
Da-da da dum
Diddle dum diddle dum diddle da da da
(X4)

But I would puff five hundred miles
And I would puff five hundred more
Just to be the twin who puffed a thousand miles
To be with you on Sodor!

Hey everyone!
I hope you enjoy another Thomas parody - this time about Donald and Douglas, two of my favorite characters!

I really enjoy The Proclaimers, and when I realized I could rework their most famous song to be about two twins, I knew I was going to have to do it at some point. Donald and Douglas only have a handful of episodes, so I had to use every bit of footage I could find and get a bit crafty with the editing. Rewriting the lyrics was surprisingly easy! I only had to change a couple lines to fit the Thomas context.

I want to give a HUGE thank you to Andrew Durning, AKA @TheGingerEngine for recording the vocals for this song! He was able to record the song twice over for the lead and backing vocals respectively. He improved on many of the rhythms I struggled with writing, and gave an excellent performance! Expect to see him again in another parody song in the coming weeks!

‪@TheGingerEngine‬ made lots of thorough Thomas reviews and ranking videos, as well as many thoughtful discussion videos on ‪@ADurning87‬ his own podcast, AND his own album of great parody songs on ‪@ThatMentalGingerShow‬.
Check out the rest of his socials and channels in the links above! Thanks again so much Andrew!
