Song Lyrics
Joannie works with one hammer

one hammer, one hammer

Joannie works with one hammer

then she works with two.

(The verses repeat and in each verse, the number is one higher than the previous. After five hammers, Instead of working with six hammers, "Then she falls to sleep.", and the purple Wiggle falls asleep and they wake him up, and do the song in superspeed then, the song ends.)
