Lyrics[]
Lachy: Oh, Shirley Shawn the Unicorn
In the sun it trots
Everybody loves it,
from grown-ups to tiny tots
Oh, Shirley learnt to talk
from a Danish duchess
Their favourite word indeed was the word...
Shirley: Scrumptious!
Lachy: Shirley talked about the weather
And it's her favourite food to eat
Rainbow-coloured veggies
and an apple for a treat
Oh, Shirley Shawn the Unicorn
In the sun it trots
Everybody loves it,
from grown-ups to tiny tots
Wiggles: Shirley Unicorn
Shirley Shawn the Unicorn
Shirley Unicorn
Shirley: Scrumptious!
Wiggles: The unicorn
Wiggles: Shirley Unicorn
Shirley Shawn the Unicorn
Shirley Unicorn
Shirley: Scrumptious!
Wiggles: The unicorn.
Shirley: Scrumptious!
