Song Lyrics
Dorothy: Come on everybody! Dance!

Well, you push your arms up in the air from side to side

Then the next thing we do is sing Romp-Bomp-A-Chomp (Romp-Bomp-A-Chomp)

Then you stamp your feet and we're doing the Romp-Bomp-A-Stomp

Romp-Bomp-A-Stomp (Romp-Bomp-A-Stomp)

Romp-Bomp-A-Chomp (Romp-Bomp-A-Chomp)

Romp-Bomp-A-Stomp (Romp-Bomp-A-Stomp)

Romp-Bomp-A-Chomp (Romp-Bomp-A-Chomp)

Well, it's Dorothy's dance and we're doing the Romp-Bomp-A-Stomp

Well, you push your arms up in the air from side to side

Then the next thing we do is sing Romp Bomp A Chomp (Romp-Bomp-A-Chomp)

Then you stamp your feet and we're doing the Romp-Bomp-A-Stomp

Romp-Bomp-A-Stomp (Romp-Bomp-A-Stomp)

Romp-Bomp-A-Chomp (Romp Bomp A Chomp)

Romp-Bomp-A-Stomp (Romp-Bomp-A-Stomp)

Romp-Bomp-A-Chomp (Romp Bomp A Chomp)

Yeah, it's Dorothy's dance and we're doing the Romp Bomp A Stomp

Trivia

 * The version of the song used in the Movie, as well as most appearances afterward omit Dorothy's lines, and the instruments and backing vocals are mixed differently than the original 1996 version. Thus, it is not considered a re-recording, but is still noticeably different.
 * The name of the dance is based off of what The Wiggles say Dorothy sings from her first four songs.
 * This is the only song from the original 1996 version of Wake Up Jeff! that has a DVD quality. It's not even seen in Australia, anyway.
 * This was a bonus music clip on the DVD release of Taking Off! (video).
 * A commonly discussed topic is the 1997/1998 music video, which clips of can be seen in the TV Series 1 intro. It was rumored to have appeared in the original Australian airing of the episode Haircut in place of Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car (due to it being the only song from that video to appear in the series), but the original airing of that episode has surfaced online and it's not there. It was also thought to have appeared as a Let's Wiggle segment, but the version of Romp Bomp a Stomp used there was the 1996 version. Currently, it's unknown if a full version of the music video does exist, if it ever even did. Some people claim it used to be on YouTube (around 2012), but this number is very few when compared to how many people still active in The Wiggles' online community were on YouTube when the music video supposedly was.
 * It's worth noting that this is the only music video to have clips appear in the intro, just as the also unreleased Balloon Chase is the only Chase scene to appear in the intro. It's possible neither of these videos were ever fully completed, and to make the footage useful they put brief clips in the intro.
