Song Lyrics and Transcript from Toot Toot! 1998/Surfer Jeff 2012
Anthony: (holding his violin) The words "Balla Balla Bambina" are asking the little girl in the song to dance. Now we'd like not just Amy to dance but everybody. Or in Italian, "Nuato Tuti".

(The song starts and Amy dances with her tambourine. The other kids in their Italian clothes arrive with their tambourines while dancing.)

Wiggles: (singing while playing music) Balla balla o balla bambina

Balla balla fina mattina

Ball

a balla o balla piccina

Balla balla e non ti fermar

Se to svegli alla mattina

Balla pure con tua cugina

Balla balla o balla bambina

Balla balla e non to fermar

Balla balla o balla bambina

Balla balla fina mattina

Balla balla o balla piccina

Balla balla e non ti fermar

Balla balla o balla bambina

Balla balla fina mattina

Balla balla o balla piccina

Balla balla e non ti fermar

L’atro giomo mi sono svegliato

E ti ho chiesto cosa voi far

L’atro giomo mi sono svegliato

Tu mi hai ditto andiamo bailar

Balla balla o balla bambina

Balla balla fina mattina

Balla balla o balla piccina

Balla balla e non ti fermar

La, la, la, lai, lai, la, la, la, lai, lai

Lai, lai, la la la, lai

La, la, la, lai, lai, la, la, la, lai, lai

Lai, lai, la la la, lai

La, la, la, lai, lai, la, la, la, lai, lai

Lai, lai, la la la, lai

La, la, la, lai, lai, la, la, la, lai, lai

Lai, lai, la la la, lai

Olive Oil is my secret ingredient!

(with the others) Olive Oil is my secret ingredient!

Greg: You know, there's nothing like eating offendic Italian cooking. And this is nothing like eating offendic Italian cooking.

Murray: Well, you're right, Greg. That's because you're eating Chinese takeaway. (laughing with the others) Greg, why don't you and Captain stay here and enjoy Alfonso's beautiful cooking and we'll ask Gino to whisk us away to (R sound) Roma!

Anthony: What a great idea, Murray. Gino, make sure when you go to Roma that you dress appropriately in traditional Roman. And they're all still wearing it. Click your fingers and get changed.

Gino: Sure. (clicking his fingers and wearing his traditional Roman clothes and speaking in Italian) Si!

Wiggles and Captain Feathersword: Sa!
