Song Lyrics
Greg: Hey there Wally
You got to move along
Wally, Wally, Wally, Wally, Wally
Keep on going strong.
You got to ride your little tricycle
Just keep on pedaling and a-pushing
Your feet keep going round in circles
As you ride along.
Hey there Wally
You got to move along
Wally, Wally, Wally, Wally, Wally
Keep on going strong.
Wally: I'd like to be a great magician! Yeah!
I only need a magic wand.
Oh, I hope that I will find one
As I ride along.
Greg: Hey there Wally
You got to move along
Wally, Wally, Wally, Wally, Wally
Keep on going strong.
Hey there Wally
You got to move along
Wally, Wally, Wally, Wally, Wally
Keep on going strong.
Wally: I'm gonna be a great magician. No, no, no, I'm going to be the best magician. Yeah, (laughing) the best magician in the world. Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing Wally, the best magician that ever lived, the finest musician, musician? Hey? Magician, I mean. (laughing) No, no autographs, no please, stand back, no no. (laughs) You might find out my secrets. (laughing) Remember, magic isn't magic when you know how it's done. Hee hee, whee. And now for my first trick... Ahhhh, thya, thya, oh that's right, I haven't got a wand yet.
