1996 Version
Greg: Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Had a very shiny nose.

And if you ever saw it,

You would even say it glows. (Wiggles: Like a lightbulb)

All of the other reindeer

Used to laugh and call him names. (Wiggles: Like Pinocchio)

They never let poor Rudolf

Join in any reindeer games. (Wiggles: Like Monopoly)

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,

Santa came to say:

Anthony: (as Santa) "Ho, ho, ho! Rudolf with your nose so bright,

Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?

Greg: Then how the reindeer loved him. (Wiggles: Loved him)

And they shouted out with glee (Wiggles: Yippie!)

"Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer,

You'll go down in history!"

Alright, everyone, it's time to do a reindeer dance so put your hands above your head and bobble along like reindeer. Ah, that's great everybody, cool. Oh, keep on bobbling along. Uh-huh, the reindeer dance, everybody. It's fun.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,

Santa came to say:

Anthony: (as Santa) "Ho, ho, ho! Rudolf with your nose so bright,

Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?

Greg: Then how the reindeer loved him. (Wiggles: Loved him)

And they shouted out with glee (Wiggles: Yippie!)

"Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer,

You'll go down in history!"

You'll go down in history!

2017 Version
Lachy: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Had a very shiny nose

And if you ever saw it

You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer

Used to laugh and call him names

They'd never let poor Rudolph

Join in any reindeer games

Simon: Then one foggy Christmas Eve,

Santa came to say

Paul: (as Santa) Ho, ho! Rudolph, with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?

Lachy: Then how the reindeer loved him

As they shouted out with glee

Paul: (as the reindeer) Yippie!

Lachy: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,

you'll go down in history!

Paul: (as Santa) Put your antlers up, everybody. Let's do a reindeer dance. That's it. Let's do it again. Put your antlers up. The reindeer dance just like Rudolph.

Simon: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Emma and Lachy: Reindeer)

Had a very shiny nose

And if you ever saw it (Emma and Lachy: Saw it)

You would even say it glows (Emma and Lachy: Like a lightbulb)

All of the other reindeer (Emma and Lachy: Reindeer)

Used to laugh and call him names (Emma and Lachy: Pinocchio)

They'd never let poor Rudolph

Wiggles: Join in any reindeer games

Lachy: Then one foggy Christmas Eve,

Santa came to say

Paul: (as Santa) Hey, Rudolph, with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?

Simon: Then how the reindeer loved him (Emma and Lachy:''' Loved him)

Simon: As they shouted out with glee

Paul: (as the reindeer) Yippie!
