Song Lyrics[]
Get ready to wiggle, we've been ready for so long
Get ready to wiggle, when you wiggle, you can't go wrong
Get ready to wiggle, wiggle will make you big and strong
Get ready to wiggle, c'mon, wiggle to this song,
Wiggle to this song
Ba-dum-ba-bum-ba-da-ba-dum
Ba-dum-ba-bum-ba-da-ba-dum
Ba-dum-ba-bum-ba-da-ba-dum
We're ready to wiggle, wiggle your fingers high in the sky
We're ready to wiggle, wiggle your ears and wiggle your eyes
We're ready to wiggle, wiggle your hair and wiggle your nose
We're ready to wiggle, c'mon wiggle all ten toes
Wiggle all ten toes
Ba-dum-bum-bum-ba-dum
Ba-dum-bum-bum-ba-dum
Ba-dum-bum-bum-ba-dum
Ba-dum-bum-bum
We can wiggle and wiggle, wiggle at home without a care
Wiggle and wiggle, wiggle on your own or with teddy bear
Wiggle and wiggle, wiggle at breakfast, lunch or tea
Wiggle and wiggle, wiggle along with me
That's right, wiggle along with me
