The words
W! W! W! Wuh, wuh, wuh!
W is for Whale, Whale, Whale! W is for Whale — wuh, wuh, W!
Wuh-wuh-wagon, pull it along, wuh-wuh-watch goes tick-tock song, wuh-wuh-window, look outside, W is for Whale — ride the tide!
Wuh-wuh-worm goes wiggle, wiggle, wuh-wuh-wolf with a friendly giggle, wuh-wuh-wheel goes round and round, W is for Whale — what a sound!
Down and up and down and up, waves go splashing, splish, splosh, splup, splash down, Whale — look, it's a W! (Splash!)
Wuh-wuh-watermelon, pink and sweet, wuh-wuh-wand, a magic treat, wuh-wuh-walrus, whiskers wide, W is for Whale — swim beside!
Say it with me: wuh! (wuh!) Say it again: wuh! (wuh!) Wave your hand: wuh! (wuh!) Blow a big spout: wuh! (wuh!) Wuh, wuh, wuh, wuh — W! W! Whale!
Wuh-wuh-wellies in the rain, wuh-wuh-woodpecker, tap again, wuh-wuh-web, a spider's thread, W is for Whale — time for bed? No! Dance instead!
Splash! Splash!
W is for Whale, Whale, Whale! W is for Whale — wuh, wuh, W! W is for Whale, Whale, Whale! W is for Whale — wuh, wuh, W!
Wagon, watch, window, worm, wolf, wheel, watermelon, wand, walrus, wellies, woodpecker, web — W is for Whale...
