Prologue Transcript
Greg: Oh, no. Jeff's always falling asleep. I guess we'd better wake Jeff up. When I count three, let's say, Wake up Jeff.

Anthony: Okay.

Greg, Murray and Anthony: 1,2 3, Wake Up Jeff!

Jeff:  (waking up while blubbering) Hey, guys! I just had a dream then. I dreamt that we were at the beach and were building a big sandcastle. Santa Claus and Henry the Octopus were helping us.

Murray: A sandcastle?

Jeff: It was so real! Take a look at this. (pulling his shoe up and dumping water out while the Awake Wiggles laugh.)

Trivia

 * The line "We're having a picnic" is re-used on performances of Here Come the Reindeer except for the Yule Be Wiggling album and video.
 * In an earlier version of the music video that broadcasted on TV in 1996 to promote their album, the Wiggles were in their short-sleeved skivvies and Santa hats.
 * The 2017 version uses new lyrics such as having a picnic in Wigglehouse. It also contains an extra verse about Henry the Octopus.
 * An instrumental track of the song was first played over the credits of Wake Up Jeff! so that nobody would know what it was, although the backing vocals were heard singing "Romp Bomp a Chomp", which relates to Dorothy the Dinosaur.
 * The MOOG organ is more louder in the instrumental track.
