Song Lyrics
Follow the leader, do as I do

When I've had my turn at being leader it's over to you

Follow the leader, do as you do

When I've had my turn at being leader, it's over to you

try this

try that

try this

try that

Follow the leader, do as I do

When I've had my turn at being leader it's over to you

Follow the leader, do as you do

When I've had my turn at being leader it's over to you

try this

try that

try this

try that

Follow the leader, do as I do

When I've had my turn at being leader it's over to you

Follow the leader, do as you do

When I've had my turn at being leader it's over to you

la la la la la la la la la la la la la

la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Trivia

 * The song was first performed in 2007 but in one version, the actions are different. In it, it shows boot-scooting, pirate dancing and ballet dancing.
 * The song's audio is in mono instead of stereo. This is similar to when The Wiggles chose the mono audio track of the 1998 re-recorded versions of Yummy Yummy and Wiggle Time instead of the stereo one.
 * This was supposed to be in the Getting Strong! (2006) DVD, but like We're All Friends, it was cut out and put into You Make Me Feel Like Dancing (video).
 * This was confirmed to be later introduced as Wiggly Animation returns (from Plastic Wax Animation and March Digital), making animated versions of Emma, Lachy and Simon. Wiggly animations will return during 2017 and on an uncut version of "Dance, Dance!".
 * This song is included in the Just Dance Kids 2 video game by Ubisoft, which was released on October 25, 2011.
