Song Lyrics[]
Here Comes a Song[]
Well you know about Dorothy the Dinosaur
But that's not the end of the tale
When I tell you what happened on her birthday
I know it'll make you turn pale
It happened on the Third of November
When Dorothy was turning five
One hundred jing-a-ling dinosaurs
In the garden doing the jive
Chorus
It was a dinosaur Birthday Party
I'm the one Mum and Dad’ll blame
Romp-bomp-a-chomp through the roses they stomped
The garden will never be the same
There was Rex the Tyrannosaurus
Doing his party tricks
And the Pterodactyl Twisters
Playing their greatest hits
They played "Pass the Prehistoric Parcel"
And "Mastodon Musical Chairs"
Why does this always happen to me?
You know it's really not fair
Chorus
I saw 22 Brontosauruses
Dancing the Boogaloo
Mum and Dad were due home any tick of the clock
Now what was I to do?
Chorus twice
Yummy Yummy (1994 Version)[]
Well, you know about Dorothy the Dinosaur
But that's not the end of the tale.
When I tell you what happened on her birthday
I know it'll make you turn pale.
It happened on a very special day
When Dorothy was turning 5
There's 100 ding-a-ling dinosaurs
In the garden doing the jive.
CHORUS
Well, it's Dorothy's Birthday Party
Everybody's playing party games
Romp-Bomp-a-Chomp through the roses we stomp
The garden will never be the same.
Well, Dorothy's friends The Wiggles
Were giving her a big surprise.
And Lucy was hanging her streamers
On her ladder way up high.
There was Captain Feathersword the pirate
Taking Dorothy's cake.
I hope that he doesn't eat it all up
Or he'll get a belly ache.
CHORUS TWICE
Cha-cha-cha!
1998 re-recording (Wiggle Time! video and Let's Wiggle album)[]
'"It's my party and you're all invited"
Well, you know about Dorothy the Dinosaur
But now I'll tell you some more
About what happened at the party
For Dorothy the Dinosaur
It happened on the third of November
When Dorothy was turning five
Dorothy and all The Wiggles' friends
Were in the garden doing the jive
CHORUS
It was a dinosaur birthday party
Everybody's playing party games
A romp-bomp-a-chomp through the roses we stomped
The garden will never be the same
There was Captain Feathersword the pirate
Doing his pirate dance
Henry the Octopus was there
Wearing his eight-legged pants
There was Wags the Dog, barking away
Doing his party tricks
Henry's Underwater Big Band were there
Playing their greatest hits
CHORUS (TWICE)
Español (Fiesta de Cumpleaños de Dorothy)[]
¡Es la fiesta de cumpleaños de Dorothy the Dinosaur!
(Romp-bomp-a-chomp, bomp-a-chomp, bomp-a-chomp)
(Romp-bomp-a-chomp, bomp-a-chomp)
(Risitas)
Bien, ya sabes quien es Dorothy the Dinosaur
Pero el cuento aquí no terminó
Cuando te diga que pasó en su cumpleaños
Sé que te hará palidecer
Sucedió un día tres de Noviembre
Cuando Dorothy cumplió los cinco
Cien alocados dinosaurios
En el patio bailaban "cha-cha-cha"
Era una fiesta de dinosaurios
(¡Es mi cumpleaños!)
Mami y papi me van a culpar
Romp Bomp a Chomp, aplastaron las rosas
Nuestro jardín nunca el mismo será
(¡Qué ricas rosas!)
Ahí estaba Rex, el tiranosaurio
con sus trucos para divertir
Y el pterodáctilo bailaba
Tocando lo mejor de lo mejor
Jugaban a pasarse la bola de piedra
Y la silla musica del mastodonte
¿Por qué me pasa siempre esto a mi?
Esto no es justo bien lo sé
Era una fiesta de dinosaurios
(¡Mis amigos están aquí!)
Mami y papi me van a culpar
Romp Bomp a Chomp, aplastaron las rosas,
Nuestro jardín nunca el mismo será
Yo vi veintidós brontosaurios
Bailando el chugalu
Mamá y papá estarán de vuelta pronto
Ahora, ¿qué podría yo hacer?
Era una fiesta de dinosaurios
(¡Más regalos!)
Mami y papi me van a culpar
Romp Bomp a Chomp, aplastaron las rosas,
Nuestro jardín nunca el mismo será
(¡Me encanta bailar!)
Era una fiesta de dinosaurios
Mami y papi me van a culpar
Romp Bomp a Chomp, aplastaron las rosas,
Nuestro jardín nunca el mismo será

你們都知道小恐龍Dorothy
我來告訴你們更多
告訴你 party上發生了什麼
那小恐龍Dorothy (就是我!)
那天正是十一月三日
Dorothy她五歲整
Dorothy和所有Wiggles朋友
正在花園跳著搖擺舞
那天是小恐龍生日party (是我的party!)
大家一起正在玩遊戲
Romp Bomp a Chomp, 穿過滿的玫瑰
那花園從此不一樣
還有飛毛船長那海盜
他跳著海盜舞
章魚Henry也在那裡
穿著他的八腳褲
還有狗狗Wags大聲叫
玩這遊戲真熱鬧
Henry的海底樂隊也在那裡
奏著最流行的歌
那天是小恐龍生日party (是我的party!)
大家一起正在玩遊戲
Romp Bomp a Chomp, 穿過滿的玫瑰
那花園從此不一樣
那天是小恐龍生日party (是我的party!)
大家一起正在玩遊戲
Romp Bomp a Chomp, 穿過滿的玫瑰
那花園從此不一樣
