Toot Toot!
Chorus
Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car
We'll travel near and we'll travel far

We're gonna ride the whole day long
Murray's in the back seat
Playing his guitar
Murray's in the back seat
Of the Big Red Car
Chorus
Jeff is fast asleep
He's having a little rest
We better wake him up
so let's all Call out "Wake up Jeff!"
Chorus
Anthony is eating
He's got so much food
He's eating apples and oranges
And fruit salad too!
Chorus
Greg is doing the driving
Singing "Scooby doo ah"

Well, Murray's in the back seat
Playing his guitar
Yeah, Murray's in the back seat
Of the Big Red Car
Chorus
Jeff is fast asleep (Oh no!)
He's having a little rest
We better wake him up
so let's all Call out "Wake up Jeff!"
Chorus
Now, Anthony is eating
He's got so much food (Uh-huh!)
He's eating apples and oranges
And fruit salad too!
Chorus
Sam is doing the driving
Singing "Scooby doo ah"
Sam is doing the driving
Of the Big Red Car!

Singing la la la. Laaaaaaaaaaaa!
Simon's in the back seat
Of the Big Red Car
Chorus
Lachy's fast asleep
He's sleeping through this song
We better wake him up
so let's all Wake Up Lachlan (Wake Up Lachy!)
Chorus

And fruit salad too!
Chorus

Trivia
- According to the "Wiggles songs" category, this is the number one Wiggles Song on Wigglepedia along with Lights, Camera, Action, Wiggles!
- In some parts of the original 1998 version, Anthony's skivvy is darker than it usually is so as to not interfere with the bluescreen process. The 1998 version also shows the Big Red Car flying at the end. This is similar to Grease, a 1978 film.
- This song is sometimes confused with the song Big Red Car as they're both songs about the Big Red Car.
- Despite being made during this time, The 1999 remake didn't air on television because it did not appear on any of the TV Series 2 episodes.

- The song is played in the games Build the Big Red Car and The Great Big Red Car Maze.
