Rock-a-Bye Your Bear

"Rock-a-Bye Your Bear" is one of the most iconic Wiggles songs. They always sing it in live shows and in some of their videos. It made its debut in the first Wiggles album back in 1991. Either the Purple Wiggle falls asleep at the end of the song, or more recently, or a teddy bear mascot.

This Wiggly classic was written by Anthony Field and Greg Page.

Trivia

The background music from It's a Wiggly Circus and Circus Cyclists Cycling! is also played.

 * The instrumental track has three main versions. 1991-1996, a trumpet starts the song, from 1997 onward, an accordion starts the song, and since 2013, sometimes it starts with light piano.
 * The "yippee!" after "Then you turn around" wasn't yet added until 1996.
