[SID]
This is my once-a-year day
Once-a-year day
Felt the mornin' sun and knew that
This was my once-a-year day
Once-a-year day
Even got a kiss from you
I feel like hoppin' up and down
Like a kangaroo
Jumpin' fences, climbin' trees
What pleases me is what I'll do

[SID & BABE]
'Cause this is my once-a-year day
Once-a-year day
Everyone's entitled to be wild
Be a child, be a goof, raise the roof
Once a year!

[ENSEMBLE]
This is our once-a-year day
Once-a-year day
Once a year we're jumpin' fences
This is our once-a-year day
Once-a-year day
Once a year we lose our senses
[BABE]
Look at Charlie by the barn
Kissin' Katie's ear
Charlie's wife is fightin' mad

[ENSEMBLE]
I'm glad it's only once a year

[BABE]
Look at Papa Halterbush
Claims he's ninety-three
Actin' like he's twenty-two

[ENSEMBLE]
He's chasin' Sadie up a tree
'Cause this is his once-a-year day
Once-a-year day
Everyone's entitled to be wild
Be a child, be a goof, raise the roof
Once a year!

[Dance break.]

[ENSEMBLE]
This is our once-a-year day
Once-a-year day
Everyone's entitled to be wild
