Wiggle Time! (album)
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, wiggling will make you big and strong Get ready to wiggle, c'mon, wiggle to this song, wiggle to this song

CHORUS

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

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, wiggle along with me

Taking Off!

Taiwanese lyrics from 大家來Wiggle!
準備好擺動了我們已經準備好了 準備好擺動，當你掙扎時，你就不能走錯 準備好搖擺搖擺會讓你強大而強大 準備好動一下，來，擺動這首歌，來搖擺這首歌

美國

我們準備好擺動你的手指在天空中擺動 我們準備好擺動你的耳朵擺動你的眼睛 我們準備好擺動你的頭髮和擺動鼻子 我們準備好了，這是我的十個腳趾，把十個腳趾都動了

我們可以搖擺扭動，在家不受照顧的情況下掙扎 搖擺，搖擺，用自己的或帶泰迪熊的方式來搖擺 搖擺，搖擺，在早餐，午餐或茶裏晃來晃去 搖擺，搖擺，與我搖擺，與我搖擺
