* Song: "Bing Bang Bong (That's A Pirate Song)"

Anthony and Murray introduce Dominic, who is with his daughter Ashleigh. He is a trumpet player. Anthony and Murray ask him questions about playing the trumpet and Dominic plays a little bit. Everyone's wearing a green hat, so it is time for some Irish Dancing.

* Song: "Wave To Wags"
* Greg's Magic Show – The Magic Box

Greg, Anthony, and Murray are standing with an empty glass box. They can hear someone snoring and say it is coming from inside the box, but nobody is inside the box. Greg has Anthony and Murray cover the box with a drape, they spin it around, and chants some magic words when they count to three. 1, 2, 3, "Wiggle Waggle". They lift the drape and Jeff is there, but he's asleep. They ask everyone to wake him up. 1, 2, 3, WAKE UP JEFF! and then Jeff wakes up, wondering what he is doing in a box.

Murray tells Jeff to not fall asleep again and said we neeeeeeed YOU! for the next song.

* Song: "Pipers Waltz"

It's time to say goodbye. Jeff has fallen asleep again in his bed, so the Wiggles have one more dance. And then yell the final "WAKE UP JEFF!" after they clap their hands three times.

The Wiggles are backstage. They have warmed up their singing voices by practicing "Rock-a-Bye Your Bear". They also have tucked their shirts and brushed their hair. Over by the side is Wags and Henry, Wags is polishing Henry's shoes. And at the last part, Greg knew that somebody was missing. Where's Jeff? Murray saw Jeff fallen asleep on a chair and told the Wiggles that he's asleep. They call the viewer to wake up Jeff. 1, 2, 3, WAKE UP JEFF! Jeff arises and they are ready to go on stage for the concert and so they all ran out to the stage.
