Transcript[]
(The episode starts with The Wiggles logo above these 4 characters in the show. Until, Greg is singing the Song: Here Come The Wiggles plays in the background, it shows their names appear in the opening sequence.)
Wiggles: (singing) It's the Wiggles, it's the Wiggles
Greg: (singing) Dancing with their friends
Dorothy: (She giggles.) Heee heee heee.
Wiggles: (singing) It's the Wiggles, it's the Wiggles
Greg: (singing) The fun will never end
Captain Feathersword: Ahoy there.
Greg: (singing) We'd like you to clap and sing and dance along too
Now that everybody's here,
Wiggles: (singing) That'll be so easy, that'll be so easy
That'll be so easy to do.
(The title "The Wiggles and Friends" appears. We cut to the outside of Wigglehouse as it starts to pour down with rain. Murray looks out the window sadly, as he wanted to spend the day outside.)
Murray: (moody) I really wanted to go outside today but it's raining.
Anthony: Don't worry Murray, I'm sure the rain will stop eventually. Why don't we try and pass the time with something?
Murray: I guess you're right.
(Greg and Jeff enter with a colourful wooden box full of old story books from when the Wiggles were kids)
Jeff: Hey Wiggles, look what we found up in the attic!
Greg: It's our old story box from when we we're kids.
Murray: Wow! I haven't seen that in years.
(The two carry the box over into the lounge room and open up the box)
Anthony: Well seeing as it's raining outside, why don't we read these story and relive some childhood memories?
(All four look through the box and find various story books inside. Murray picks up a book with the title "Uncle Noah's Ark" on it)
Murray: Oh I remember this one! "Uncle Noah's Ark". This one was my favourite.
Greg: Remember when Jeff used to dress up as Uncle Noah?
Jeff: (laughing) I wore a long beard and used a squeaky hammer.
(They all laugh as Murray opens up the book and begins to read to story)
Murray: (reading) A long, long time ago, there lived a man named Uncle Noah. Now, Uncle Noah has to save some animals from a flood, so he built a really, really big boat. And he called that big boat, "Uncle Noah's Ark". There were some ducks on the ark and the ducks went...
(with Anthony, Jeff & Greg) Quack!
Murray: The cows went....
(with Anthony, Jeff & Greg) Moo!
Murray: There was a rooster that went, "cock-a-doodle-doo!" There were some cats on the ark and they made a terrible row and they went...
(with Anthony, Jeff & Greg) Meow!
Murray: There was a pig on the ark, and the little pig went... (He snorts.) How did that little pig go again? It went... (He snorts.) Uncle Noah had some goats on the ark and the goat shook their heads and they went...
Anthony, Jeff & Greg: Baah!!! Baah!!!
Murray: There were also some donkey with long floppy ears, and the donkeys went..
(with Anthony, Jeff & Greg) Hee Haw! Hee Haw!
Murray: It sure was noisy on the ark but it was lots of fun too! And so for forty days and forty nights, Uncle Noah and all the animals stayed aboard the ark until the rain stopped.
(We transition into the song: Uncle Noah's Ark. We see the exterior of Uncle Noah's Ark while the storm rages on. As the song starts we see The Wiggles playing their instruments and interacting with the animals with some scenes of Jeff is dressed as Uncle Noah building the ark and trying to calm the animals down but failing)
Greg: (singing) A long long time ago
As all you folks should know
(Shot cuts to Uncle Noah building)

Uncle Noah: Now, that's a boat folks!

The rain was quite a fright
The animals nearly tore the ark apart

(They are all making animal noises at the end then shot cuts to Uncle Noah exhausted from all the animals. A transition of the ark brings us into the next song; Three Animals. Greg introduces the song)
Greg: Here's a story about three silly animals who were late for school one day.
(The song begins. Each of the other Wiggles plays the part of the three different animals. Anthony is the Kookabura, Murray is the Crocodile and Jeff is the Hippo.)
Greg: (singing) Three animals went one day, on their way to school
They started playing animal games like Hippomonopoly
And Crocodile Snap, and Kookaburra Rhyme
When they finished playing their games
They remembered the time
Anthony: (as the Kookabura) We're late!
Greg: (singing) laughed the Kookaburra
Murray: (as the Crocodile) You're right
Greg: (singing) said the Croc. The hippo said
Jeff: (as the Hippo) My watch is going Tick Tick Tock
Greg: (singing) Mrs. Rat, their teacher, was in an awful state
"What has happened to those three, whatever is their fate"
She called up the police, and told them her sad tale
They listened on; the bush telegraph
And heard three animals wail
Anthony: (as the Kookabura) We're late!
Greg: (singing) laughed the Kookaburra
Murray: (as the Crocodile) You're right
Greg: (singing) said the Croc. The hippo said
Jeff: (as the Hippo) My watch is going Tick Tick Tock
Greg: (singing) Now those three animals learnt a lesson you'd never learn at school
There's time for playing silly games and acting like a fool
Now when they all arrived at school everyone was happy
Smiling was the Budgerigar, and the baby Quacky
Anthony: (as the Kookabura) We're late!
Greg: (singing) laughed the Kookaburra
Murray: (as the Crocodile) You're right
Greg: (singing) said the Croc. The hippo said
Jeff: (as the Hippo) My watch is going Tick Tick Tock
Anthony: (as the Kookabura) We're late!
Greg: (singing) laughed the Kookaburra
Murray: (as the Crocodile) You're right
Greg: (singing) said the Croc. The hippo said
Jeff: (as the Hippo) My watch is going Tick Tick Tock
(The song ends with the three animals finally reaching the school to the relief of Mrs. Rat. A frog transitions to the song A Frog Went A Walking. It begins with Dorothy introducing the story of the frog)
Dorothy: Here's a story about a funny frog, who fell in love with a mouse!
(The song begins)
Greg: (singing) A frog went a walking on a summer's day uh-hum
A frog went a walking on a summer's day uh-hum
Frog went a walking on a summer's day
He met Miss Mousy on the way
Uh-hum, uh-hum, uh-hum
He said Miss Mousy will you marry me uh-hum
He said Miss Mousy will you marry me uh-hum
Don't know about that, Mr. Frog.
He said Miss Mousy will you marry me
Together we'll live so happily
Uh-hum, uh-hum, uh-hum
Now first to the wedding was Mr. Pig uh-hum
Now first to the wedding was Mr. Pig uh-hum
First to the wedding was Mr. Pig
He played guitar and he started to jig
Uh-hum, uh-hum, uh-hum
Take it away Mr. Pig.
(Instrumental break)
Anthony: (as Mr Pig) Snort!
(Instrumental break)
Anthony: (as Mr Pig) Snort! Snort!
(Instrumental break)
Anthony: (as Mr Pig) Snort! Snort! Snort!
Greg: (singing) What do you think they had for supper uh hum?
What do you think they had for supper uh hum?
What do you think they had for supper?
Fried mosquito and bread and butter
Uh-hum, uh-hum, uh-hum
(The song ends with Mr Frog, Miss Mousy and Mr Pig enjoy the wedding festivities and buttered bread. A sparkle transition takes us to Dorothy's house. With the rain still pouring outside, we see the dinosaur sitting with a cup of rosey tea, watching the rain patter down.)
Dorothy: It's been raining for hours and hours
Mum says the rain is good for the flowers
(After finishing her cup of tea, Dorothy decides to have a little nap. As she lies in bed, she begins to drift off with the sound of the rain getting softer and softer. This then fades into the song; I Love It When It Rains. A scene where Greg is singing, while the others are playing their instruments begins.)
Greg: (singing) I love it when it rains
And I lie in bed at night
I listen to it patter
On the roof soft and light
But then a storm may come
And the thunder starts to crash
The rain beats on the window
And I see the lightning flash
(While the Instrumental break plays on, a scene of Dorothy and the girls holding their teddy bears & dancing the ballet.)
Greg: (singing) I hold on teddy tight
And sink down in my bed
I close my eyes so tight
And pull the covers over my head
I feel so snug and warm
I know that everything's alright
I love when it rains
As I lie in bed at night
Remainder is a WIP
