There's a dockside Diesel we know well
Who can spin a yarn
Who can tell a tale
He loves the sea and the ships that sail
Salty is his name

He works so hard, he's very very proud
His friends all love him being around
When the sun goes down they'll gather round
For a tale or a song of the sea

On with the sailor's song
Follow on, Salty's song
Follow the leader home
Follow the leader home

Salty, tell us another one
Salty, spin us another one
Salty, one more story will do
Salty, oh Salty
We'll always follow you

Everyone knows the troublesome trucks
Push their luck
Get the engines stuck
But someone knows just what to do
Salty is his name
When he rolls along, he hums his song
A pretty little song
Let me tag along
And his rhythm makes them follow on
Homeward bound we go

On with the sailor's song
Follow on, Salty's song
Follow the leader home
Follow the leader home

Salty, sing us another one
Salty, spin us another one
Salty, one more story will do
Salty, oh Salty
We'll always follow you

Salty, tell us another one
Salty, spin us another one
Salty, tell us another one do
Salty, oh Salty
We'll always follow you
We'll always follow you
We'll always follow you
