"Dressing Up" (sometimes known as "Dressing Up in Style") is a song from the Whoo Hoo! Wiggly Gremlins! video and album. The Wiggles sing about how you can be anything you want to be if you have the right costumes.
It was re-recorded for the Wiggle House video and album without brass and drum parts, containing simple guitar tracks and a xylophone part.
Lyrics
Whoo Hoo! Wiggly Gremlins!
I'm putting on my doctor's coat
Grab my doctor's bag and my stethoscope
Ooh hoo I'm dressing up in style
I'm putting on my riding hat
Got my boots and my lariat
Ooh hoo I'm dressing up in style
Dressing up is so much fun
You can dress as anyone
You can use any clothes you find
I'm putting on my big black boots
My red hat and my fire suit
Ooh hoo I'm dressing up in style
Dressing up is so much fun
You can dress as anyone
You can use any clothes you find
I'm putting on my doctor's coat
Grab my doctor's bag and my stethoscope
Ooh hoo I'm dressing up in style
I'm putting on my riding hat
Got my boots and my lariat
Ooh hoo I'm dressing up in style
I'm putting on my big black boots
My red hat and my fire suit
Ooh hoo I'm dressing up in style
Wiggle House
I'm putting on my doctor's coat
Grab my doctor's bag and my stethoscope
Oooooh, I'm dressing up in style
I'm putting on my riding hat
Got my boots and my lariat
Oooooh, I'm dressing up in style
Dressing up is so much fun
You can dress as anyone
You can use any clothes you find
I'm putting on my big black boots
My red hat and my fire suit
Oooooh, I'm dressing up in style
Dressing up is so much fun
You can dress as anyone
You can use any clothes you find
I'm putting on my doctor's coat
Grab my doctor's bag and my stethoscope
Oooooh, I'm dressing up in style
Oooooh, I'm dressing up in style
Oooooh, I'm dressing up in style
I'm putting on my tutu
My hair's in a bun, I've got my ballet shoes
Oooooh, I'm dressing up in style
Oooooh, she's dressing up in style
Lachy!
I'm dressing up in my noble crown
My Prince boots and royal gown
Ooo, I'm dressing up in style
Hello, I'm Prince Lachy
It's nice to meet you
Shall we dance?
Oo, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Thank you
Dressing up is so much fun
You can dress as anyone
You can use any clothes you find
I am a Prince!
I'm dressing up in my noble crown
My Prince boots and royal gown
Ooo, I'm dressing up in style
Ooo, I'm dressing up in style
