(Until, it translates to Anthony dances & snaps his fingers with the headphones.)
Anthony: HI, JEFF!
Jeff: There's no need to shout.
Anthony: WHAT?!
Jeff: I said there's no need to shout!
Anthony: PARDON?!
Jeff: I SAID "THERE'S NO NEED TO SHOUT!"
Anthony: (He is taking off his headphones.) Sorry, Jeff. What are you up to?
Jeff: (He is holding some 2 CD's.) Oh, I've got these two new CD's. One has got the sounds of the jungle, like birds singing, (He's making a tweeting sound.) monkey laugh, (He's making a monkey sound.) and lions roaring, (He's making a roaring sound.) And this other one is a famous opera singer.
Anthony: Hmm. I didn't know you like opera, Jeff.
Jeff: I love the opera! Did you know that in an opera, they sing of everything instead of saying it?
Anthony: Well, That sounds interesting, Jeff. Now look, here's the headphones to listen to your new CD's. And I'm off for a snack! (He leaves. Until, Jeff puts on the headphones & Anthony pulls a cord, getting the apple & bites it.) See you, Jeff! (He is closing the door, while going back to his room.)
Jeff: See you, Anthony! (He is looking at these two CD's of which one he'll listen.) Hmm. The sounds of the jungle or the sounds of the opera? Which will I listen to first? I'll put the opera on. (He puts Jungle CD down on boom-box & opens the Opera case. Then, he puts the disc in the boom-box & turns the volume up.)
Announcer: (He is on the headphones.) And now, from the Sydney Opera House, music you'll never forget. Sit down, take your shoes off and relax. (Jeff sits down on a chair.) I said, take your shoes off.
Jeff: Who? Who, me?
Announcer: Yes, you, Jeff Wiggle. (Jeff takes off his shoes.) Ahh, that's better. Now welcome to the stage, the one and only, the diva, Edith von Schmitten!
(Jeff claps his hands. Then, he puts his headphones on & starts sleeping. Until, it translates to Anthony juggles apples, while passing Jeff sleeping. Murray plays his electric guitar, while passing Jeff sleeping. Greg looks at his magic book by taking steps down, while passing Jeff sleeping. Captain Feathersword rides his unicycle, while passing Jeff sleeping. The clock ticks through every hour. The days change to nights & then, back to days. Jeff is still sleeping with headphones & pyjamas on. The clock still ticks through every hour. Wags the Dog is chasing with his ball, who was running passing Jeff sleeping. Captain Feathersword rides his unicycle in a different direction, while passing Jeff. Until, the Wiggly Trivia Announcer comes on.)
Paul Field: (offscreen, until the trivia appears on the screen.) Will Jeff ever wake up? How will The Wiggles wake him? What will happen when he does?
(One day, Anthony, Greg and Murray arrive seeing Jeff sleeping.)
Greg: Jeff's been asleep for a long, long time. I think we'd better wake him up. When I count to three, let's say, "Wake up, Jeff". (with Anthony.) 1, 2, 3, (with Murray.) WAKE UP, JEFF!!!!!!
(But, Jeff is still sleeping with headphones.)
Anthony: Huh?
Greg: Huh?
Murray: Huh?
Anthony: Oh, I know why he didn't wake up. He can't hear us, he's got his headphones on!
Murray: Has he been listening to that all this time?
Greg: (He takes the headphones off for Jeff & gives to Murray & he puts them down.) Now let's try it. 1, 2, 3, (with Anthony & Murray.) WAKE UP, JEFF!!!!!!
(Jeff wakes up without his headphone & he stands up.)
Anthony: Wow, Jeff. You've been asleep for ages! It didn't look like we'd be able to wake you up.
Jeff: (in opera singing voice to falsetto.) I'm awake, oh-oh! I'm awake!
Anthony: Huh?
Greg: Huh?
Murray: Huh?
Greg: Yeah, well, Jeff, we thought you'd like to wake up and come with us to Wags the Dog's house.
Jeff: (in opera singing voice to falsetto.) Wags the Dog, the wonderful dog, our best friend. Best friend, best friend.
Anthony: Huh?
Greg: Huh?
Murray: Huh? He's been listening to that CD so long, he thinks he's in an opera!
Anthony: Wiggles, we better think of something fast or Jeff's going to sound like an opera singer forever. Let's start thinking.
(Anthony, Greg & Murray think.)
Greg: Hey, maybe if he falls asleep without the headphones on, he'll get back to normal again.
Murray: Good thinking, I always considered that idea! It doesn't take much for funny old Jeff to fall asleep.
Anthony: Hey, Jeff! (in opera singing voice to baritone.) Why don't you have a nap before we leave this place?
Jeff: (in opera singing voice to falsetto. While, he sits down in armchair before starts falling asleep again.) Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh yes!
Murray: Quickly! Take that CD out and put the other one in. If he wakes up and listens to that opera recording again, we'll never get him back to normal!
Anthony: (He takes the opera CD out from the boom-box & puts the jungle CD into the boom-box.) That should do the trick. (He is walking backwards to Greg & Murray.) No more opera singing for you, Jeffo!
Greg: Come on, let's wake him up and see if it worked. When I count to three. 1, 2, 3, (with Anthony & Murray.) WAKE UP, JEFF!!!!!!
(Jeff wakes up, blubbers, stands up and runs around, until the alarm clock goes on.)
Anthony: So Jeff... (in opera singing voice to baritone.) do you still think you're a opera star?
Jeff: An opera star? Of course not! (He is gonna sit down & put his headphones on.)
Murray: Ha-ha-ha! He's back to normal!
Greg: Do you see him? He thought he was in an opera!
Murray: Yeah! Singing Everything! Ha-ha-ha! He was really funny!
Anthony: (in opera singing voice to falsetto.) Singing like this!
Murray: Hey, Jeff, sing us another aria!
(Jeff starts to listening to the sounds of the jungle while he's asleep.)
Greg: Hey, he's asleep again! That Jeff, he can can sleep anywhere.
Anthony: Oh, no!
Greg & Murray: Oh, what?
Anthony: Oh, no!
Greg & Murray: Oh, what?
Anthony: Oh, no!
Greg & Murray: Oh, what?
Anthony: The headphones. He's got the Headphones on again.
Greg: Oh, no, he'll turn into the opera singer again.
(Murray takes the headphones off for Jeff & he puts them down.)
Anthony: Not this time. I changed the CD to the sounds of the jungle.
Greg: Ooh. Well, we'd better wake him up then. When I count three, let's say, "Wake up, Jeff". (with Anthony & Murray.) 1, 2, 3, WAKE UP, JEFF!!!!!!
(Jeff wakes up.)
Murray: Oh, hi, Jeff. We were a bit worried when we saw you'd fallen asleep with the headphones on again.
(Jeff turns into a monkey as he gets on his armchair.)
Anthony: Oh no! He's was listening to the sounds of the jungle. Now he thinks he's a monkey!
Murray: Well, at least monkeys are friendly.
(Jeff roars like a lion as he gets off his armchair.)
Greg: But lions aren't! Let's get out of here! WHOA!
(Greg, Murray & Anthony run away from Jeff who's acting like a lion who is trying to attack them. Until, stars transition to the song: Wake Up Jeff! A scene where The Wiggles & their friends are gonna wake Jeff up.)
Wiggles: (singing) Wake Up Jeff!
Greg: (singing) Everybody's wiggling.
Wiggles: (singing) Wake Up Jeff!
Greg: (singing) We really need you.
Wiggles: (singing) Wake Up Jeff!
Greg: (singing) You're missing all the fun now.
Wake Up Jeff before the day's through.
What's that sound? I can hear somebody snoring.
What's that sound? It's not Murray or Greg.
Anthony's awake so let's have another guess now.
Oh my goodness! It must be Jeff!
Wiggles: (singing) Wake Up Jeff!
Greg: (singing) Everybody's wiggling.
Wiggles: (singing) Wake Up Jeff!
Greg: (singing) We really need you.
Wiggles: (singing) Wake Up Jeff!

Wiggles: (singing) Wake Up Jeff!
Greg: (singing) You're missing all the fun now.
Wake Up Jeff before the day's through.
Jeff: (yawning.) Can you keep that noise down? I'm trying to sleep.
(Snail transition. Then, it translates into flowers transition to the end credits are rolling, while The Wiggles, Officer Beaples & their friends are playing a game of tennis with their rackets. When, Jeff is holding a ball. While, Anthony & Murray are moving back & forth. Then, Jeff swings the racket & hit a tennis ball. They we're all trying to catch it. But, Captain Feathersword has caught the ball with his mouth, riding on his bike. While, they're running around during The Chase (Instrumental) track is playing in the background. So, they had to catch up Captain Feathersword with a tennis ball. After that, it fades to black. Then it translates to Emma Ryan painting a picture. Then, the paintbrush splats to The Wiggles Logo appears on the screen. Then, it fades to black.)
