Wiggle to this song

(Shot cuts to the song: Dorothy the Dinosaur.)
Anthony: This is a story of a not-so-scary dinosaur named Dorothy.
Caterina and John: I was looking out my window
Late the other night
She was sitting in the garden
And gave me such a fright
Eating all Mum’s roses
There in the moonlight
Caterina: It was Dorothy the Dinosaur
Caterina and John: I knew that if Mum saw her
She’d never let her stay
A dinosaur as big as that
Needs feeding night and day
I’d have to find a place
Where I could hide her away
Caterina: Dorothy the Dinosaur
Wiggles: Romp-bomp-a-chomp
Romp-bomp-a-chomp
Romp-bomp-a-chomp
Romp-bomp-a-chomp
Romp-bomp-a-chomp
Romp-bomp-a-chomp
Caterina: Dorothy the Dinosaur
Wiggles: Chomp!
Caterina and John: I knew that she was so big
That she’d soon be found
My mother called the dog catcher
He came around
When he laid his eyes on her
He fell to the ground
Anthony: “Now, I take it that’s Dorothy the Dinosaur!”
Wiggles: Romp-bomp-a-chomp
Romp-bomp-a-chomp
Romp-bomp-a-chomp

Caterina: Dorothy the Dinosaur
Wiggles: Chomp!
Caterina: Hey Wiggles, it’s an exciting time.
It’s story time with Lachy and Simon!
Anthony: Oh, they tell the best stories.
John: I can’t wait!
(CATERINA GIGGLES)
Simon: Hey! John, Caterina and Anthony!
Lachy: Are you ready for our stories?
All: Beauty, mate!
Simon: I’ll go first. OK.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Astronaut on…the moon!
John: Huh?
Caterina: Huh?
Anthony: Huh?
Lachy: Oh.
Simon: Oh,. Uh… Oh, you go Lachy.
Lachy: Oh, OK.
Egg… fell on the floor.
John: Huh?
Caterina: Huh?
Anthony: Huh?
Lachy: Oh.
Um, try your other really good one.
Simon: Oh, yeah.
King and Queen!
John: Huh?
Caterina: Huh?
Anthony: Huh?
Lachy: Uh, Simon, our stories don’t seem to be getting the reaction that we were expecting.
Simon: No, that’s right, Lachy.
They seem to be falling a little flat, missing that “Wah-wah-wah-wah-zing!” we were hoping for.
Maybe, it’s the beginning.
Maybe it’s the way we’re starting our stories.
Lachy: You know what they say - a good story has a great beginning.
Simon: And our stories have nothing like a great beginning.
Oh, what to do?!
Lachy: What to do?!
Anthony: I know what to do.
Why don’t you call William Shakespeare, the great storyteller?
He lives up the road.
His number’s on speed dial.
He’ll help out.
John: He makes great pizzas, too.
Anthony: Yeah!
Simon: Hello, William
Lachy: William Shakespeare
Anthony: The story specialist
John and Caterina: We heard you’re the best
Simon: Oh, we’re trying to tell a story
Lachy: A story in all its glory
Simon: We don’t know how to begin
Lachy: We don’t know how to begin
Simon: Oh, sorry, William, and if we could please have a gluten-free Supreme pizza - hold the anchovies.
Thank you.
He’s on his way.
(DOORBELL RINGS)
Simon: Wow!
Both: That was quick!
Captain Feathersword (as William Shakespeare): Oh, hello, two gentlemen of Verona (CHUCKLES)
(VOICEOVER): Will Lachy and Simon’s stories get the “wah-wah-zing” that they were hoping for?
Will the gluten-free pizza be delicious?
Or, like Simon and Lachy’s stories, fall a little flat?
Tsehay (VOICEOVER): The Letter L.
Tsehay: L, l…
L, l…
L, l…
L is for liquorice
L, l…
L, l…
L, l…
L is for liquorice
L, l…
L, l…
L, l…
L is for liquorice
L, l…
L, l…
L, l…
L is for liquorice.
Liquorice.
Lachy: Well, you can run, you can jump and skip too
But here’s a dance that is oh, so new
Wiggles: Do, do the move they call the Wiggle Groove.
Lachy: Clap your hands and spin around
Pat your head and touch the ground
Wiggles: And do, do the move they call the Wiggle Groove
Do, do the move they call the Wiggle Groove
Do, do the move they call the Wiggle Groove
John: Clap your hands and stamp your feet
And groove along to the Wiggly beat
Wiggles: And do, do the move they call the Wiggle Groove
Caterina and Tsehay: Side to side, sway with your hands
Lift your knees in time with the band
Pendulum with your legs side to side
You’re doing it the Wiggle way
Lachy: Clap your hands and spin around
Pat your head and touch the ground
Wiggles: And do, do the move they call the Wiggle Groove
Do, do the move they call the Wiggle Groove
Do, do the move they call the Wiggle Groove
Do, do the move they call the Wiggle Groove
Do, do the move they call the Wiggle Groove
Do, do the move they call the Wiggle Groove
Do, do the move they call the Wiggle Groove
Do, do the move they call the Wiggle Groove
Do, do the move they call the Wiggle Groove.
Captain Feathersword (as William Shakespeare): Well, good gentlemen, what seems to be the problem?
Simon: William… Oh! May we call you Bill?
Captain Feathersword (as William Shakespeare): Oh, of course. Everybody does.
Simon: Well, Bill, Lachy and I have been trying to tell our stories, but the reaction has been, well…
Well, it’s been much ado about nothing.
Lachy: Yes. So far, you’d say it’s been the comedy of errors.
Simon: How about I, uh, show you my first story, to see what you think?
(CLEARS THROAT)
Astronaut on the moon!
John: Huh?
Caterina: Huh?
Anthony: Huh?
Captain Feathersword (as William Shakespeare): Oh. I see.
Well, gentlemen, the only advice I can impart to you is that a good story must have a great beginning.
Such as, um…
“Once upon a time…”
Lachy: Oh! So you’re saying a good story needs a great beginning like, “Once upon a time…”
Captain Feathersword (as William Shakespeare): Yes. That’s it. Like, um, “Once upon a time, there was a delicious pizza with no anchovies ‘sonnet’.”
(LAUGHS)
Well, as you can see, all’s well that ends well.
Ta-ta to you.
Simon: Oh. Thank you, Bill. Bye-bye!
So, once upon a time.
A story will take you to places that you’ve never been
A story will show you a castle with a king and queen
A story will lead you to a stalk that grew from a bean
A story, a story, but how does it begin?
A story will take you to space with an astronaut
A story will show you the life of a dinosaur!
A story will lead you to Humpty Dumpty on his wall
A story, a story, but how does it begin?
Lachy: Now it’s time for me to tell you a story
From the beginning, a story in all it’s glory
Hmm… (GASPS)
Let’s start with, let’s start with “Once upon a time”
Now it’s time for me to tell you a story
From the beginning, a story in all it’s glory
Let’s start with, let’s start with “Once upon a time”
Let’s start with, let’s start with “Once upon a time”.
Anthony: Oh, that’s a great way to start a story.
Thanks, guys!
Simon: Say goodbye, pizza pie
Lachy and Tsehay: See you mate, chocolate cake
John and Caterina: Goodbye to you, tiramisu
Lucia: Off you dart, banana tart
Simon: Say goodbye, pizza pie.
