Lyrics[]

English[]

The Big Red Car rolls along the street
And to all the people that we meet
We like to say hello (say hello)
To the people that we meet

In the back are Wags and Dorothy
Captain Feathersword and Henry
They like to say hello (say hello)
To the people that they meet

Chorus
We beep the horn on the Big Red Car
We ride along and we travel far
Cos there's lots of people we can meet
In our Big Red Car

The road we travel is a bumpy ride
You know there's not a lot of room inside
As we sing our song
(Sing our song)
As we ride along

Chorus

(Say hello, big red car) x8

Español (Nos Gusta Saludar)[]

Vamos a nuestro cochesote rojo
Y a la gente que nos de pasar
Nos gusta saludar (Saluda!)
A la gente que nos ve

Wags y Dorothy estan atras
Captain Feathersword y Henry
Les gusta saludar (Saluda!)
A la gente que yos ven

Mi cochesote rojo todo a pasa
Sin tan muy lento suelo viajar
Porque tanta genta que nos ve
En nuestro cochesote rojo

Esta camino esta un poco malo
Y no tenemos mucho espacio aca
Mientras cantamos asi (a asi)
Si seguimos asi

Mi cochesote rojo todo a pasa
Sin tan muy lento suelo viajar
Porque tanta genta que nos ve
En nuestro cochesote rojo

(Hola, marineros) x8

Trivia[]

  • Because of the Big Red Car getting an overhaul with only a capacity of four people, this song has been rarely performed due to the second verse talking about the Wiggly Friends being in the back of the car.
  • The only documented tour that the song was performed at is the 1997 Big Show, making it the only time the song was performed with the motorized Big Red Car.
    • However, it's unknown if the Wiggly Friends verse was kept or removed entirely to rewrite a new lyric for the concert since the friends aren't seen in the car.[1]
  • This marks the final time (until Ready, Steady, Wiggle! Series 3) that the Big Red Car appears as a cardboard cut-out. Starting with The Wiggles Movie, the Big Red Car was redesigned to look like a real car and could hold a maximum capacity of four people.
  • The song is played on the Big Red Car Kiddie Ride.
  • This was the first song to be played in Series 5.
  • On Xuxa's album and video "Xuxa Só Para Baixinhos", the Brazilian version is called "Vamos Dizer Alô".
  • The English version plays in A whereas the Brazilian version plays in G.
  • This is the first song to feature Paul Paddick on backing vocals and Dominic Lindsay on trumpet.
  • This is the first song to be engineered by Chris Brooks.
  • Officer Beaples appears in the Wiggles 1997 Big Show version and the 2006 version.
  • The 1999 South African VHS release of Wake Up Jeff! shows that the song was filmed in green screen.
