Song Lyrics
Here Comes A Song
Verse 1
Here comes a bear (stomping, stomping)
A very scary bear (stomping, stomping)
Paws up in the air (stomping, stomping)
Stomping everywhere
Verse 2
Kangaroo jumps (boing boing)
He jumps so high (boing boing)
He almost touches the sky (boing boing)
The kangaroo jumps so high
Verse 3
Here comes a snake (Sssss Sssss)
Slithering along (Sssss Sssss)
His body's very long (Sssss Sssss)
Slippery snake slithers along
Verse 4
Wombat crawls (crawling crawling)
Nose to the ground (crawling crawling)
He's making lots of sound (crawling crawling)
Crawling everywhere
Repeat Verse 1
Live in Ready, Steady, Wiggle! Series 1 and 2
Here comes a bear (stomping, stomping)
A very scary bear (stomping, stomping)
Paws up in the air (stomping, stomping)
Stomping everywhere
Kangaroo jumps (boing boing)
She jumps so high (boing boing)
She almost touches the sky (boing boing)
The kangaroo jumps so high
Here comes a snake (Sssss Sssss)
Slithering along (Sssss Sssss)
His body's very long (Sssss Sssss)
Slippery snake slithers along
Wombat crawls (crawling crawling)
Nose to the ground (crawling crawling)
Making not much sound (crawling crawling)
Wombat crawls around
Here comes a camel (stomping, stomping)
The camel's name is Zamel (stomping, stomping)
A camel is a mammal (stomping, stomping)
And he might just sound like this
Español (Aquí Viene Un Oso)
Aquí viene un oso (Pisando, Pisando)
Un oso pavoroso (Pisando, Pisando)
Garras levantadas (Pisando, Pisando)
Dando fuertes pisadas
Canguro brinca (Boing! Boing!)
Él brinca muy alto (Boing! Boing!)
Casi toca el cielo (Boing! Boing!)
El canguro brinca muy alto
Ahí viene la culebra (Sssss, Sssss)
Serpenteando por el suelo (Sssss, Sssss)
Su cuerpo es muy largo (Sssss, Sssss)
Se arrastra y se resvala
El wombat gatea (Gateando, gateando)
Nariz hacia el piso (Gateando, gateando)
Hace muchos sonidos (Gateando, gateando)
Gateando en todos lados
Aquí viene un oso (Pisando, Pisando)
Un oso pavoroso (Pisando, Pisando)
Garras levantadas (Pisando, Pisando)
Dando fuertes pisadas

Trivia
- In Here Comes a Song, Greg sings the bear and snake parts, and Anthony sings the kangaroo and wombat parts. In ABC For Kids: Live In Concert however, Murray sings the kangaroo part instead of Anthony.
- In the Sailing Around the World tour and The OG Wiggles Reunion Tour!, Greg sings the bear part, Murray sings the kangaroo part, Jeff sings the snake part and Anthony sings the wombat part.
- As for the 2013-2021 line-up, Simon sings the bear part, Emma sings the kangaroo part, Lachy sings the snake part and Anthony sings the wombat part (although in Fun and Games, Simon and Emma swap verses).
- The international instrumental re-recording was later used in a lot of The Wiggles' concerts as the original backing track became unavailable.
- When performed live in 2013 and 2014, the last verse is replaced with a camel, which is sung by Captain Feathersword riding on Zamel the Camel.
- The Wiggles Meet the Orchestra version was uploaded to The Wiggles' YouTube channel on December 7th, 2017.
- In the Taiwanese version, the wombat verse is replaced with a snail.
- In Fun and Games, the snake and wombat verses are swapped.
- According to Anthony, he wrote this song on the spot while teaching the children in his preschool class about vacuum cleaners, and thus changed the lyrics from about vacuum cleaners to animals.
- In the 2023 version, the word "scary" is changed to "friendly".
