Prologue Transcript[]
Jeff: (He is snoring.)
(The Awake Wiggles arrive.)
Greg: (laughing) Oh, no. Jeff's always falling asleep. I guess we'd better wake Jeff up. When I count 3, let's say, "Wake up, Jeff."
Anthony: (whispering.) Okay. (with Greg & Murray.) 1, 2, 3. WAKE UP, JEFF!
Jeff: (He wakes up & blubbers.) Hey, guys! I just had a dream then. I dreamt that we were at the beach and were building a big sandcastle. Santa Claus and Henry the Octopus were helping us.
Murray: A sandcastle?
Jeff: It was so real! Take a look at this. (He picks up his boot, then dumps water out of it & the others laugh.)
Lyrics[]
We're having a picnic, on the beach
Mmm it's Christmas day
Bring all your friends, take some food
Let's all dance and play
There's Dorothy the Dinosaur (eating some roses)
Romp bomp a chomp, she's starting to dance now
Doing the romp bomp a stomp
Chorus
There's Wags the Dog (eating some bones)
Woof, woof, woof
He's digging in the dirt now, and running to and fro
Chorus
There's Captain Feathersword (tickling away)
"Ahoy there me hearties"
He's starting to dance now, doing it the pirate way
Chorus
There's Henry the Octopus (spinning around)
(gurgles)
He's doing the merengue and dancing his octopus way
Chorus (x2)
