Henry's Dance

"Henry's Dance" is a Henry the Octopus song which is about Henry's favorite dance.

Song Lyrics

Henry, (the octopus) The Octopus, (the octopus)

A very special friend, to me.

Henry, (the octopus) The Octopus, (the octopus)

I have a great dance, for you to see.

Well, tell us now, Henry, what we all should do

Tell us now, Henry, we want to dance like you.

Clap your hands, above your head, and you sway, from side to side

Start to bob, up and down, now let's spin, around and round.

Henry, (the octopus) The Octopus, (the octopus)

A very special friend, to me.

Henry, (the octopus) The Octopus, (the octopus)

I have a great dance, for you to see.

Well, tell us now, Henry, what we all should do

Tell us now, Henry, we want to dance like you.

Clap your hands, above your head, and you sway, from side to side

Start to bob, up and down, now let's spin, around and round.

Henry, (the octopus) The Octopus, (the octopus)

A very special friend, to me

Henry, (the octopus) The Octopus, (the octopus)

Thank you all for dancing, with me (x3)

The instrumental version of this song was used for many things such as the end credits for The Wiggles' 3rd video, Big Red Car. It was later used in the end credits for the re-recordings of Wiggle Time and Yummy Yummy, and multiple times in The Wiggles' 2nd TV Series. There was also a new instrumental track introduced in 2006 used for other countries' recordings.
In the Ready, Steady, Wiggle! (TV Series 1), there was an alternate version sung at Wigglehouse where Henry had to tell everyone his favorite foods instead of teaching everyone his special dance for the song.
