Song Lyrics
Anthony: You know there's so many different people in the world. We love all the people. And there are so many animals in the world. We love all the animals, too.

Lachy: Eric (Eric)

Is an emu (Is an emu)

A strange little member of the animal world

And he's our friend, as well

Terry (Terry)

Is a tiger (Is a tiger)

A big old member of the animal world

And he's our friend, as well

Emma: So many animals you see

They're all different just like you and me

Simon: Candice (Candice)

Is a kangaroo (Is a kangaroo)

A lovely member on the animal world

And she's our friend, as well

Derek (Derek)

Is a dingo (Is a dingo)

A beautiful friend of the animal world

And he's our friend, as well

Emma: So many animals you see

They're all different just like you and me

So many animals you see

They're all different just like you and me

Anthony: Oh yeah, there's so many animals in the world, there's kookaburras, oh yeah, dingos don't bark, they howl.

Emma: So many animals you see

They're all different just like you and me

(The Wiggles applaud.)
