She Wore a Yellow Ribbon chords

'We've seen so many children arrive at the show dressed like me, head to toe with the big yellow bow, but they're not changing the size of the bow so it's bigger than their heads, ' Watkins said by phone from Australia.

Watkins is joined in the new version of the group by original Blue Wiggle Anthony Field and two fellow newbies: Red Wiggle Simon Pryce and Purple Wiggle Lachlan Gillespie.

Watkins, 23, grew up with The Wiggles and sharing the stage with Page, the original Yellow Wiggle, she says, 'I just felt like I was 6 years old again.' The first time Gillespie sang 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star' with Page, he cried.

And there was the mentoring offstage, where the new Wiggles hosted meet-and-greets with children with special needs.

'They turn up and all they do is look at Emma the whole time. These 2 and 3-year-olds have never seen The Wiggles before, so Emma's their superstar'

'There were no reality TV cameras rolling at the time - it sort of sounds like it - but no one was going to be eliminated. It was just a lovely year, ' Field said.
