[Intro] Morning, neighbours, puddle inspector on call! I'm Waddle, your guide on the Wuthering Wall. [Verse] Navy W cap, yellow trim just so, I'm the friendliest signpost you'll ever know. I carry the notices, welcomes and news, With sixty-point-six miles of excellent views. When moor mist rolls and the arrows hide, I keep one eye on the map and one on the tide. I never say "lost", that's a touch impolite: "Brilliant detour! Now bear to the right." [Chorus] WADDLE! That's me, cap on, map out, I bring the word in and send the word out! Lock to lock, through moorland weather, Let us get the word out together! WADDLE! Step in, travel beside me, Fourteen proud stops and the whole Wall behind me. Near or far, we journey better, Let us get the word out together! [Verse] I came with far-off stories, just passing through, Then fourteen stops said, "There's a home here for you." Now I link every neighbour, message and place, With a calm little waddle and a welcoming face. Rain on my cap? That's northern confetti. Lock gates keep rhythm; my webbed feet stay ready. My walk has a wobble, but my route advice is true, Just follow the scarf with the golden W. [Chorus] WADDLE! That's me, cap on, map out, I bring the word in and send the word out! Lock to lock, through moorland weather, Let us get the word out together! WADDLE! Step in, travel beside me, Fourteen proud stops and the whole Wall behind me. Near or far, we journey better, Let us get the word out together! [Outro] I brought news from afar; now this Wall is my home, And nobody here has to travel alone. I'm Waddle, come rain, come wind, come feather: Let us get the word out together!

[Intro] Ey up, I am Spirot, small cap, grand plan. I do not haunt the station, I improve it where I can. [Verse] Small conductor cap, but I do not drive trains, I conduct imagination through the mist and rain. My name tag says SPIROT, ghosts need admin too, I leave ideas, not ectoplasm, on the tour with you. At every lock I unlock one thought you missed before, Then float off looking innocent. What are spirits for? [Chorus] SPIROT! SPIROT! Give your what-if a whirl! SPIROT! SPIROT! Let us wander where ideas swirl! From the locks to the moors, hear curiosity call, I am the Playful Spirit of the Wuthering Wall! [Verse] Fourteen stops, I call every one "Begin!" I put the "why?" in Wuthering and welcome wonder in. From Manchester to Leeds, through the moorland mist, I spot the tiny marvels other travellers have missed. Born from builders' laughter, tucked in brick and beam, I am a little piece of Wall with an oversized dream. [Bridge] No booing, no brooding, no villainous plot, Just a scarf in the wind and a cheerful "Why not?" If your bright idea feels too shy or small, I will float right there beside it till it feels ten feet tall. [Chorus] SPIROT! SPIROT! Give your what-if a whirl! SPIROT! SPIROT! Let us wander where ideas swirl! From the locks to the moors, hear curiosity call, I am the Playful Spirit of the Wuthering Wall! [Outro] Small cap, grand plan, come along, one and all. I am Spirot, imagination ambassador of the Wall.

[Intro] Hard hat on, blueprints tight, I am Wally, and I build it right. [Verse 1] I am Wally on the Wall, with my pencil and plan, Turning "Wouldn't it be grand?" into "Yes, we can." Sixty point six, yes, I checked point six, Fourteen stops, lock by lock, no guessing with the bricks. Bring the big idea, I will ask where the drains go, Dreams stand taller when foundations say so. I do not cut corners, I draw them to scale, Spirit level smiling? That is a five-star tale. [Chorus] Wally! Wally! I am Wally on the Wall, Big plans, safe hands, building for us all. No fuss, no rush, till the proper job is done: Measure twice, build once! Measure twice, build once! [Verse 2] I came from the river just to watch the builders start, Then blue lines on paper drew a doorway in my heart. Manchester to Leeds, every towpath, lock and span, I build for every neighbour, with the whole crew in the plan. Orange vest, silver stripe, yellow helmet, plans kept dry, I do not wing a building, I am an otter, mate. That is why. My name is on the helmet, but the win belongs to all, Every paw on the project puts strength into the Wall. [Chorus] Wally! Wally! I am Wally on the Wall, Big plans, safe hands, building for us all. No fuss, no rush, till the proper job is done: Measure twice, build once! Measure twice, build once! [Outro] Checked, steady, ready, that is Wally on the Wall.

[Intro] Now then, I am Warren Low profile, high standards Lamp on, panic off Let us have a proper look [Verse 1] Pink nose, yellow helmet, W upon the light Gentle with the neighbours, very serious with the site I do not rush a tunnel, that is how tunnels rush you I check the rock, I chart the route, then calmly guide you through My stripe is reflective, and frankly, so am I I think before I tunnel, then I tell you what and why No drama in the strata, no reckless grand manoeuvre When the answer hides below, I dig a little deeper [Chorus] Warren, Warren, lamp in the dark Finding safe ways underneath the Wall Warren, Warren, steady and strong Let us dig a little deeper, strength for us all [Verse 2] Sixty point six miles, fourteen stops to mind From Manchester to Leeds, I check what lies behind Beneath the locks and towpaths, below the moorland weather I keep the groundwork grounded, so we all stand strong together When builders met stubborn rock, I came up with a plan Drew a safer pathway with a careful steady hand I found strength in the darkness, now I share it with you all You can keep the spotlight, mine is fastened to my hat [Chorus] Warren, Warren, lamp in the dark Finding safe ways underneath the Wall Warren, Warren, steady and strong Let us dig a little deeper, strength for us all [Outro] I am Warren, calm and ready Paws on the plan and the headlamp steady Under the ground, on top of the task Let us dig a little deeper

[Intro] Now then, loves, I'm Whiskers, cap straight, buttons bright. I've checked the locks, the maps and the moorland mist twice. [Verse] From Manchester morning to Leeds by the reeds, I know all fourteen stops and what each visitor needs. Sixty-point-six miles, I keep every chart, With a practical plan and a cream-centred heart. My tail trails behind, but I'm always ahead. The wind files complaints, I file Weather instead. No hiss and no hurry, no flap and no fuss. I say, This way, loves, and the whole Wall trusts. [Chorus] WHISKERS! WHISKERS! I'm calm on the Wall, Soft paws, firm timetable, welcome for all. All aboard! Let us make today run smoothly. Fourteen stops, one warm Wall, come journey with me. [Verse] I was found in a toolbox, curled up from the rain. Now I know every lock gate, old bridge and lane. The Wall gave me shelter, now I shelter the day, With a map and a welcome to show you the way. If your map's upside down, I won't make you feel small. I'll turn it round gently, not rotate the Wall. Navy and gold, with my W displayed, I keep worries unruffled and journeys well made. [Chorus] WHISKERS! WHISKERS! I'm calm on the Wall, Soft paws, firm timetable, welcome for all. All aboard! Let us make today run smoothly. Fourteen stops, one warm Wall, come journey with me. [Outro] Right, everyone counted, and every stop clear. Lovely. The moors may be moody, but Whiskers is here.

[Intro] I am Widget, maintenance engineer, Four wheels steady, all systems clear. Hard hat on, cyan grin lit, If the Wall needs help, I am built for it. [Verse 1] I roll where the lock gates grumble and groan, From Manchester brick to the Leeds-side stone. You call it a crisis, I call it Tuesday's check, One turn of the wrench and it is back within spec. I am calm with a clank and polite with a squeak, Every little wobble has a reason to speak. Navy on my jacket, mustard round the seam, Built like a boiler, engineered like a dream. [Pre-Chorus] Inspect it, detect it, correct it, protect it, Every clunk tells a story, so I roll up and check it. [Chorus] Widget! Widget! That is my name on the Wall! Big job, small bot, I can answer every call! Check it, correct it, hear the old gears sing: I am Widget, let us keep things running! [Verse 2] Sixty-point-six miles, fourteen stops in line, Rain on the towpath, but the readings all look fine. I was built from spare parts when the old works needed care, They called me spare once, now I am hard to spare. I mind every machine so the people travel home, Past the moorland rain and the weathered canal stone. No cape, no fuss, no heroic display, If nothing goes wrong, I have had a brilliant day. [Bridge] I look after the machinery that carries people through, So every careful turn I make is really made for you. No sirens, no panic, just a calm cyan grin, Give the fault a little knock and tuck the trouble in. [Chorus] Widget! Widget! That is my name on the Wall! Big job, small bot, I can answer every call! Check it, correct it, hear the old gears sing: I am Widget, let us keep things running! [Outro] Four wheels steady, W shining bright, Widget keeps the Wall running right.
