Merge Paragraph

Question

I am new to Jquery, My requirement is to merge two paragraphs into single paragraph. I have tried using the following code.

<p>This is first para text </p>
<p>This is second para text </p>
<p>This is third para text.</p>

into

<p>This is first para text This is second para text This is third para text.</p>

It doesn't work. Any ideas?

Only one line code:

$('p').contents().unwrap().wrapAll('<p>');

See the demo.
