Transcript[]

Greg: Hey, everybody. This is our friend, Barry Williams!

Barry: Hi, everybody!

Greg: Hi, Barry. Hey, you know what Barry? Christmas Eve is such a special night. It's really exciting. And sometimes it's really hard to get to sleep!

Wags: (barking off-screen)

Barry: It is hard to get to sleep. Especially now, can you hear that barking going on out there?

Wags: (barking off-screen)

Greg: Oh yeah. You know what? That sounds like Wags the Dog. And with Wags barking like that, I don't think anybody's going to be able to get to sleep.

Wags: (barking off-screen)

Jeff: (arrives) Even I can't get to sleep!

Wags: (barking off-screen)

Greg: Yeah.

Anthony: (arrives) Hi, Greg!

Greg & Barry: Hi!

Anthony: Hang on a second. You're Barry, you're Greg.

Greg: Ah, right.

Wags: (barking off-screen)

Anthony: Hey, guys, we've got a problem. What are we gonna do? Wags is barking! Murray, Barry, Greg, Jeff, what do we do?

Murray: I know! Let's ask Wags to stop barking!

Wiggles and Barry: Wags, stop your barking!

Lyrics[]

(Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff)

Wags, stop your barking

(Barry) Everyone's asleep

(Aw come on, Wags. Please stop your barking)

Wags, stop your barking

(Greg) It's late on Christmas Eve

(Come on, Wags.)

(Barry) Santa's on his way, he's oh so near

(Greg) But if everyone's awake, he can't stop here

(Ruff!)

Wags, stop your barking

(Ruff, ruff!)

(Barry) It's late on Christmas Eve

(Wags, it's Christmas Eve. What are you barking for?)

(Ruff!)

(Greg) Santa's in his big bright sleigh

(Ruff)

(Barry) Delivering the presents for Christmas Day

(Ruff, ruff!)

(Greg) But Wags is barking, nobody sleeps

(Ruff!)

(Barry) And Santa's got a schedule to keep

Wags, stop your barking

(Ruff, ruff!)

(Greg) Everyone's asleep

(We can't get to sleep, Wags.)

Wags, stop your barking

(A-roo!)

(Barry) It's late on Christmas Eve

(Greg) Santa's on his way, he's nearly here

(Barry) If everyone's awake, he can't stop here

Wags, stop your barking

(Greg) It's late on Christmas Eve

(Hang on a second, everybody. Ooh!)

But look there's fog

(Ho, ho, I can't see!)

It's hard to see

(Oh dear!)

Santa Claus is lost

(Ho ho!)

But he can hear the barking in the mist

(Ruff, ruff)

Wags, keep on barking

(Barry) Santa's lost his way

(Ruff ruff)

(Wags, is that you?)

Wags, keep on barking

(Greg) It's almost Christmas Day

(Ruff ruff)

(Ho, ho! I can hear you, Wags.)

(Barry) Thanks to Wags on his find

(Greg) Santa's presents will arrive on time

(You've saved Christmas, Wags!)

Wags, keep on barking

(Greg) Now it's all okay

(Ruff ruff)

Good on you, Wags!

(Ho, ho, ho! Thank you, Wags.)

Wags, keep on barking

(Barry) Santa's found his way

(Good one, Wags)

(Ruff ruff)

(Thanks very much, Wags. You've saved Christmas again.)

(Ruff!)
