"Go Santa Go" is a Wiggles Christmas song from the Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas 1996 album and 1997 video, as well as the 2017 album and video with Greg as a guest star. Being The Wiggles' most popular Christmas song, it is traditionally performed at Carols in the Domain almost every year since the song's release.

Lyrics[]

Ho ho ho! Here I go! Ho-ho! Ho-ho!
Go Santa go, you've got such a long way to go
Go Santa go, go, go, go, go
(Go) call the reindeer
(Go) get ready
(Go, go) and away you go
Go Santa go, go, go, go
Go Santa go!

Ho ho ho! Here I go, ho ho ho!
Go Santa go, all the way from the North Pole
Go Santa go, go, go, go, go
(Go) through the jungles
(Go) through the desert
(Go, go) through the winter snow
Go Santa go, go, go, go
Go Santa go!

Here I go, ho ho ho! Ho ho ho!
Long white beard with a face
So happy and cheerful
C'mon Rudolph fast as you can
We've got presents here for everyone in the land! Ho ho!

Go Santa go, you've got such a long way to go
Go Santa go, go, go, go, go
(Go) call the reindeer
(Go) get ready
(Go, go) and away you go
Go Santa go, go, go, go, whack!
Go Santa go!
Here I go, ho ho ho! Here I go, ho ho ho!

Trivia[]

  • The unreleased 1996 film clip[1] had the children in place of The Wiggly Friends dancing with The Wiggles.
  • When Sam became the yellow Wiggle, on one of the lyrics he noticeably says, "And away we go", instead of "And away you go". The only exception, though, is at Carols in the Domain in 2007.
  • The 2013 and 2017 versions omitted the brass section and added extra guitars as well. The 2013 version has sleigh bells added at the beginning and the end while the 2017 version is sung with soft dynamics.
  • Bert Newton guest stars as Santa in the 2013 version, while Greg Page guest stars in the 2017 version as the yellow Wiggle.
    • When recording the song with the Wiggles in 2017, Greg admitted he could hardly tell the difference between his vocals and Lachy's.
  • The choreography parodies the Greased Lightning number from the 1978 film Grease.
  • Santa is voiced by Anthony Field in the 1996 and 2021 versions, Bert Newton in the 2013 version, and Paul Paddick in the 2017 version.
  • The 2017 version of the song starring Greg Page as the yellow Wiggle was uploaded on The Wiggles' YouTube channel on November 8th, 2017. A prologue scene is also included at the beginning. A Bushfire live version was uploaded on December 20th, 2021. The 2022 version was uploaded on December 7th, 2022.
  • This is the last song in the Wiggly Christmas Medley.
