Tilly the Tugboat

1Tilly the tugboat is tiny but strong.
She hums as she works all day long.
Chug, chug, chug along!

2Fog rolls in all thick and gray.
Tilly toots to show the way.
Chug, chug, chug along!

3A giant ship sails in so slow.
It needs a nudge to turn and go.
Chug, chug, chug along!

4Tilly pushes. Tilly pulls.
Past the buoys and the gulls.
Chug, chug, chug along!

5Big boats bob and bubbles bloom.
Tilly makes a little room.
Chug, chug, chug along!

6The ship slides in. The ropes are tied.
Tilly puffs with tugboat pride.
Chug, chug, chug along!

7The sun sinks low. The sky turns red.
Tilly yawns and finds her bed.
Chug, chug, chug along!
