Lyrics
Wiggles: Captain's magic buttons.

He's got half a dozen.

Make him sing in different ways.

Captain Feathersword: Whoo ho! Here we go!

Wiggles: Magic buttons.

Push a magic button.

Let's see how he sings today.

Wiggles: What's gonna happen when you push the first button?

Captain Feathersword: (singing opera) Quack-a-doodle doo!

Wiggles: What's gonna happen when you push the second button?

Captain Feathersword: (sings like a robot) Oh oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah ah oh.

Wiggles: What's gonna happen when you push the third button?

Captain Feathersword: (sings like a rock star) Quaaaaack-a-doodle doo doo doo!

Wiggles: What's gonna happen when you push the fourth button?

Captain Feathersword: Whoo ho! Let's hopscotch!

Wiggles: Captain's magic buttons.

He's got half a dozen.

Make him sing in different ways.

Captain Feathersword: Whoo ho, me hearties!

Wiggles: Magic buttons.

Push a magic button.

Let's see how he sings today.

Captain Feathersword: Whoo ho! This is fun!

Wiggles: What's gonna happen when you push the first button?

Captain Feathersword: (singing opera) Quack-a-doodle doo!

Wiggles: What's gonna happen when you push the second button?

Captain Feathersword: (singing like a robot) Ah ah ah ah oh ah ah ah ah.

Wiggles: What's gonna happen when you push the third button?

Captain Feathersword: (singing like a rock star) Quack-a-doodle, quack-a-doodle, quack-a-doodle!

Wiggles: What's gonna happen when you push the fourth button?

Captain Feathersword: Whoo ho! I love hopscotch! Whoo hoo hoo!

Wiggles: Captain's magic buttons.

He's got half a dozen.

Make him sing in different ways.

Captain Feathersword: Oh, these buttons are great fun, me hearties!

Wiggles: Magic buttons.

Push a magic button.

Let's see how he sings today.

Captain Feathersword: Whoo ho!

Wiggles: What's gonna happen when you push the first button?
