Willy Wombat has slept in and the audience wants to see him dance and twist his way through his fun little rock song, but everyone soon finds out that merely yelling out “Wake Up Willy” won’t be enough to get him up. But after we learn a little more about our fury friend he is soon up and strutting his stuff on the dance floor and letting us know all about his secrets to a happy and healthy life.
lyrics
VERSE 1
Now Willy Wombat’s sweet as can be
He likes to eat roots and leaves
He likes to sleep all day long
But look what happens when we sing his song!
CHORUS 1
Let’s do the Willy Wombat 1, 2, 3
The Willy Wombat, wake up Willy!
The Willy Wombat, there’s no denying
That we can’t wake him up if we’re not trying
VERSE 2
Now Willy Wombat’s dancing around
We’ve got him out of his hole in the ground
We’ve got him swinging, having lots of fun
He’ll keep on swinging ‘til the day is done
CHORUS 2
Let’s do the Willy Wombat, twist ‘n’ shout
The Willy Wombat, shake it all out
The Willy Wombat, and stomp your feet
And wake him up with that stomping beat!
INSTRUMENTAL
VERSE 3 - (SPOKEN)
Now Willy Wombat’s a fun loving dude
Who likes playing with his friends
and looking for food
He keeps nice and fit, by doing these things
And dancing to his song when somebody sings
“Let’s dance!”
CHORUS 1 (repeat)
Let’s do the Willy Wombat 1, 2, 3
The Willy Wombat, wake up Willy!
The Willy Wombat, there’s no denying
That we can’t wake him up if we’re not trying
CHORUS 2 (repeat)
Let’s do the Willy Wombat, twist ‘n’ shout
The Willy Wombat, shake it all out
The Willy Wombat, and stomp your feet
And wake him up with that stomping beat!
OUT CHORUS
Let’s do The Willy Wombat. Yeah!
The Willy Wombat. Whoo-hoo!
Let’s do The Willy Wombat. Wah-har!
Ahh! Ahh! 1,2,3 Willy!
