Christmas Picnic



Christmas Picnic is a Christmas song from Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas. This song was first heard as background music in the end credits of the Wake Up Jeff! video but it wasn't sung until the Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas album. It was later sung on Go Santa Go! (video), and the Go Santa Go! (album). But with a different instrumental track.

Prologue Transcript
Greg: Oh, no. Jeff's always falling asleep. I guess we'd better wake Jeff up. When I count three, let's say, Wake up Jeff.

Anthony: Okay.

Greg, Murray and Anthony: 1,2 3, Wake Up Jeff!

Jeff:  (waking up while blubbering) Hey, guys! I just had a dream then. I dreamt that we were at the beach and were building a big sandcastle. Santa Claus and Henry the Octopus were helping us.

Murray: A sandcastle?

Jeff: It was so real! Take a look at this. (pulling his shoe up and dumping water out while the Awake Wiggles laugh.)

Song Lyrics
We're having a picnic on the beach.

Ooh, it's Christmas day..

Bring your friends, take some food.

Let's all dance and play.

There's Dorothy the Dinosaur

Romp Bomp a Chomp.

She's starting to dance now

Doing the Romp Bomp a Stomp.

We're having a picnic on the beach.

Ooh, it's Christmas day.

Bring your friends, take some food.

Let's all dance and play.

There's Wags the Dog

Wags: Ruff, ruff, ruff!

He's digging in the dirt now

And running to and fro.

We're having a picnic on the beach.

Ooh, it's Christmas day.

Bring your friends, take some food.

Let's all dance and play.

There's Captain Feathersword

Captain Feathersword: Ahoy there, me hearties.

He's starting to dance.

He's doing it the pirate way.

We're having a picnic on the beach.

Ooh, it's Christmas day.

Bring your friends, take some food.

Let's all dance and play.

We're having a picnic on the beach.

Ooh, it's Christmas day.

Bring your friends, take some food.

Let's all dance and play.

We're having a picnic on the beach.

Ooh, it's Christmas day.

Bring your friends, take some food.

Let's all dance and play.

Trivia

 * The line "We're having a picnic" is re-used on performances of Here Come the Reindeer except for the Yule Be Wiggling album and video.
 * In an earlier version of the music video that broadcasted on TV in 1996 to promote their album, the Wiggles were in their short-sleeved skivvies and Santa hats.
