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!
