Lyrics[]
Ukulele Baby![]
The sun peeking softly
Over the mountains high
The sun smiles so brightly
Up in the morning sky
All of the gentle creatures
Arise completely
All of the flowers' petals
They smell so sweetly
Yes, the beautiful sun
Yes, the beautiful sunshine
The Wiggles' Big Ballet Day![]
Lachy and Emma: Softly
Feathered wings of the beautiful dove
Softly
Dance the dance of the gentle love
(in Spanish) Una paloma blanca
Me canta al alba
The white dove
She sings softly to me at dawn
Cu-cu-cu-cu-curoo
Cu-cu-cu-curoo-oo
Cu-curoo, cu-curoo
Cu-curoo
Cu-cu-curoo
Curoo-oo
Curoo-ooo
Curoo
Cu-curoo, cu-curoo
Curoo!
