Everybody Is Clever

"Everybody Is Clever" is a Wiggles song from the Wake Up Jeff album and video. Though in the American version it was replaced with "The Chase". It was adapted by another song called "Samba Lele", which was published in 1953. A rendition of the song has recently been performed live on the Australian and American tours in 2011 while Jeff had a heart surgery, after years of the song becoming a rarity.

Song Lyrics
Greg: Clap your hands and twirl everybody

Clap your hands and twirl everybody

Clap your hands and twirl everybody

Put your hands on your head

Point to something that's red

Put your hands on your shoe

Point to some thing that's blue

Everybody is clever

Can stand as still as a statue

Then we move and we shake about

Can turn around and shout

Hey!

The Wiggles: Clap your hands and twirl everybody

Clap your hands and twirl everybody

Clap your hands and twirl everybody

Anthony: Put your hands in the air

Shake your hands while they're there

Jeff: Put your hands on your chin

Then we make a big grin

Greg: Everybody is clever

Can stand as still as a statue

Then we move and we shake about

Can turn around and shout

Hey!

The Wiggles: Clap your hands and twirl everybody

Clap your hands and twirl everybody

Clap your hands and twirl everybody

Wave your arms up and down

Make a face like a clown

Anthony: Put your hands on your cheeks

Now leave them there for 10 weeks

Jeff: Stamp your feet on the floor

Then we make a big roar

Roar!

Greg: Give your knee one soft tap

Let's all give a big clap!
