Lyrics
Oh I'm shaking like a jelly on a plate x2
I'm shaking like a jelly, a wibbly,
wobbly jelly.
Oh I'm shaking like a jelly on a plate
Oh I'm rolling like a pumpkin down the hill x2
Oh I'm rolling like a pumpkin, a roly,
poly pumpkin.
Oh I'm rolling like a pumpkin down the hill.
Oh I'm dancing like a puppet on a string x2
Oh I'm dancing like a puppet, a dingly,
dangly puppet.
Oh I'm dancing like a puppet on a string.
Oh I 'm jumping like a bullfrog in a swamp x2
Oh I 'm jumping like a bullfrog, a bumpy,
jumpy bullfrog.
Oh I 'm jumping like a bullfrog in a swamp.
Oh I 'm swimming like a fish in the sea x2
Oh I 'm swimming like a fish, a splishy, splashy fish.
Oh I 'm swimming like a fish in the sea.
