Get Ready To Wiggle

"**Get Ready To Wiggle**" is the first ever Wiggle song ever written. Originally written for *The Cockroaches* by John Field, that version was never released to the public. In 1991, this song was officially recorded and rewritten for *The Wiggles* for their debut album. A re-recording later appeared in the *Wiggle Time!* video in 1998.

## Song Lyrics

### Wiggle Time! (album)

Get ready to wiggle, we've been ready for so long

Get ready to wiggle, when you wiggle, you can't go wrong

Get ready to wiggle, wiggle will make you big and strong

Get ready to wiggle, c'mon, wiggle to this song, wiggle to this song

CHORUS

We're ready to wiggle, wiggle your fingers high in the sky

We're ready to wiggle, wiggle your ears and wiggle your eyes

We're ready to wiggle, wiggle your hair and wiggle your nose

We're ready to wiggle, c'mon wiggle all ten toes, wiggle all ten toes

We can wiggle and wiggle, wiggle at home without a care

Wiggle and wiggle, wiggle on your own or with teddy bear

Wiggle and wiggle, wiggle at breakfast, lunch or tea

Wiggle and wiggle, wiggle along with me, wiggle along with me

### Taking Off!
