Once Upon a Christmastime (Full Parade)
[CHOIR, sung]
Once upon a Christmastime
Once upon a Christmastime

Once upon a Christmastime at Christmas
Families gather 'round the Christmas tree
Once upon a Christmastime at Christmas
Moms and dads and children all agree
This fairytale for all is the time you will recall
With stories told throughout the years
So get ready for that night when Santa takes his flight
'Cause Christmas time comes once a year

Once upon a Christmastime at Christmas
Candy canes and chocolate fill the air
Once upon a Christmastime at Christmas
Sleigh bells say it's time to prepare
It's that very special time and the magic that you'll find
On that once upon a Christmastime

Once upon a Christmastime

Once upon a Christmastime at Christmas

[MICKEY, spoken]
You can't beat home sweet home for the holidays
[CHOIR, sung]
We need a little Christmas now
I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin' for Pennsylvania
And some home made pumpkin pie
So get ready for that night when Santa takes his flight
From Atlantic to Pacific
Gee, the traffic is terrific

[MINNE & CHOIR]
There's no place like home for the holidays

[CHOIR]
'Cause no matter how far away you roam

Happy holidays, everybody!

[DAISY, spoken]
We're in our very own winter wonderland

[CHOIR, sung]
Sleigh bells ring - are you listenin'?
In the lane snow is glistenin'
Once upon a Christmastime at Christmas
Walking in a winter wonderland
Oh, the weather outside is frightful

[DAISY, spoken]
Sleigh rides are so romantic, don't you think?

Once upon a Christmastime at Christmas

[DAISY, spoken]

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh

In a one horse open sleigh

[DONALD, spoken]
Giddy up, horsie!

[DAISY, spoken]

Ring-ting-ting-a-ling too
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "Yoo hoo!"
