Song Lyrics[]
1996 Version[]
Chorus
Wake up, Jeff, everybody's wiggling
Wake up, Jeff, we really need you
Wake up, Jeff, you're missing all the fun now
Wake up, Jeff, before the day's through
Greg
What's that sound? I can hear somebody snoring
What's that sound?, it's not Murray or Greg
Anthony's awake, so let's have another guess now
Oh my goodness, it must be Jeff!
Chorus
(Guitar solo for an instrumental break while Jeff's snoring)
Greg
Dorothy the Dinosaur is munching on some roses
Wags the Dog is digging up bones
Henry the Octopus is dancing round in circles
Wake Up, Jeff, we need you for the show!
Chorus
(Jeff yawns from his sleep)
Jeff
Can you keep that noise down? I'm trying to sleep
Sam Version[]
Chorus
Wake Up Jeff! Everybody's wiggling
Wake Up Jeff! We really need you
Wake Up Jeff! You're missing all the fun now
Wake Up Jeff, before the day's through!
What's that sound? I can hear somebody snoring
What's that sound? It's not Murray or Sam
Anthony's awake so let's have another guess now
Oh my goodness, it must be Jeff!
Chorus
(Guitar solo for an instrumental break while Jeff's snoring)
Dorothy the Dinosaur is munching on some roses
Wags the Dog is digging up bones
Henry the Octopus is dancing round in circles
Wake Up, Jeff, We need you for the show!
Chorus
(Jeff yawns from his sleep)
Jeff
Can you keep that noise down? I'm trying to sleep
