"Wake Up Jeff!" is a Wiggles song from the titular video and album. The song was inspired by Jeff's famous sleeping shtick. When Jeff retired from the group in 2013, the song was re-worked into "Wake Up Lachy".

Lyrics[]
Chorus
Wake up, Jeff, everybody's wiggling
Wake up, Jeff, we really need you
Wake up, Jeff, you're missing all the fun now
Wake up, Jeff, before the day's through!
Greg
What's that sound? I can hear somebody snoring
What's that sound? It's not Murray or Greg
Anthony's awake, so let's have another guess now
Oh, my goodness! It must be Jeff!
Chorus
(Guitar solo for an instrumental break while Jeff's snoring)
Greg
Dorothy the Dinosaur is munching on some roses
Wags the Dog is digging up bones
Henry the Octopus is dancing round in circles
Wake up, Jeff, we need you for the show!
Chorus
(Jeff yawns from his sleep)
Jeff
Can you keep that noise down? I'm trying to sleep!
Chorus
Wake Up Jeff! Everybody's wiggling
Wake Up Jeff! We really need you
Wake Up Jeff! You're missing all the fun now
Wake Up Jeff, before the day's through!
What's that sound? I can hear somebody snoring
What's that sound? It's not Murray or Sam
Anthony's awake so let's have another guess now
Oh, my goodness! It must be Jeff!
Chorus
(Guitar solo for an instrumental break while Jeff's snoring)
Dorothy the Dinosaur is munching on some roses
Wags the Dog is digging up bones
Henry the Octopus is dancing round in circles
Wake Up, Jeff, we need you for the show!
Chorus
(Jeff yawns from his sleep)
Jeff
Can you keep that noise down? I'm trying to sleep!
Chorus
Wake Up Jeff! Everybody's wiggling
Wake Up Jeff! We really need you
Wake Up Jeff! You're missing all the fun now
Wake Up Jeff, before the day's through!
What's that sound? I can hear somebody snoring
What's that sound? It's not Emma or Simon
Anthony's awake so let's have another guess now
Oh, my goodness! It must be Jeff!
Chorus
(Guitar solo for an instrumental break while Jeff's snoring)
Dorothy the Dinosaur is munching on some roses
Wags the Dog is digging up bones
Henry the Octopus is dancing round in circles
Wake Up, Jeff, we need you for the show!
Chorus
(Jeff yawns from his sleep)
Jeff
Can you keep that noise down? I'm trying to sleep!
(Despierta Katty!) Estamos bailando Wiggle
(Despierta Katty!) Te queremos aquí
(Despierta Katty!) Te estás perdiendo todo
(Despierta Katty!) Que el día se te va
¿Qué es ese ruido? Alguien está roncando
¿Qué es ese ruido? No es Fernando ni Francisco
Zoe no es, quién será que está dormido?
¡Ay, caramba! ¡Debe de ser Katty!
(Despierta Katty!) Estamos bailando Wiggle
(Despierta Katty!) Te queremos aquí
(Despierta Katty!) Te estás perdiendo todo
Despierta Katty! Que el día se te va
Dorothy the Dinosaur está comiendo rosas
Wags the Dog un hueso encontró
Henry the Octopus está que gira gira
Despierta Katty! Que comienza la función
(Despierta Katty!) Estamos bailando Wiggle
(Despierta Katty!) Te queremos aquí
(Despierta Katty!) Te estás perdiendo todo
(Despierta Katty!) Que el día se te va!
(¿Podrían estar callados? ¡Estoy tratando de dormir!)
