Lyrics

Whoo Hoo! Wiggly Gremlins!

I'm putting on my doctor's coat
Grab my doctor's bag and my stethoscope
Ooh hoo I'm dressing up in style

I'm putting on my riding hat
Got my boots and my lariat
Ooh hoo I'm dressing up in style

Dressing up is so much fun
You can dress as anyone
You can use any clothes you find

I'm putting on my big black boots
My red hat and my fire suit
Ooh hoo I'm dressing up in style
Ooh hoo I'm dressing up in style

Dressing up is so much fun
You can dress as anyone
You can use any clothes you find

I'm putting on my doctor's coat
Grab my doctor's bag and my stethoscope
Ooh hoo I'm dressing up in style

I'm putting on my riding hat
Got my boots and my lariat
Ooh hoo I'm dressing up in style

I'm putting on my big black boots
My red hat and my fire suit
Ooh hoo I'm dressing up in style

Wiggle House

I'm putting on my doctor's coat
Grab my doctor's bag and my stethoscope
Oooooh, I'm dressing up in style

I'm putting on my riding hat
Got my boots and my lariat
Oooooh, I'm dressing up in style

Dressing up is so much fun
You can dress as anyone
You can use any clothes you find

I'm putting on my big black boots
My red hat and my fire suit
Oooooh, I'm dressing up in style

Dressing up is so much fun
You can dress as anyone
You can use any clothes you find

I'm putting on my doctor's coat
Grab my doctor's bag and my stethoscope
Oooooh, I'm dressing up in style
Oooooh, I'm dressing up in style
Oooooh, I'm dressing up in style

I'm putting on my tutu
My hair's in a bun, I've got my ballet shoes
Oooooh, I'm dressing up in style
Oooooh, she's dressing up in style

Lachy!

I'm dressing up in my noble crown
My Prince boots and royal gown
Ooo, I'm dressing up in style

Hello, I'm Prince Lachy
It's nice to meet you
Shall we dance?
Oo, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Thank you

Dressing up is so much fun
You can dress as anyone
You can use any clothes you find

I am a Prince!

I'm dressing up in my noble crown
My Prince boots and royal gown
Ooo, I'm dressing up in style
Ooo, I'm dressing up in style

The Sound of Halloween

I'm putting on my big white sheet
It goes down from my head to my feet
Ooh-ooh, dressing up for Halloween

I'm putting on my pointy hat
I've got my broomstick and my boots to match
Ooh-ooh, dressing up for Halloween

Dressing up is so much fun!
You can dress as anyone!
You can use any clothes you find!

I'm putting on my pointy ears
With my whiskers and my tail right here
Ooh-ooh, dressing up for Halloween

Dressing up is so much fun!
You can dress as anyone!
You can use any clothes you find!

I'm putting on my big white teeth
With my long black cape and a suit underneath
Ooh-ooh, dressing up for Halloween

I'm putting on my orange suit,
With a hat on my head that's quite minute
Ooh-ooh, dressing up for Halloween

I'm putting on my suit of bones
I've got nowhere to put my cellular phone
Ooh-ooh, dressing up for Halloween
Ooh-ooh, dressing up for Halloween!
