[SID]
This is my once-a-year day
Once-a-year day
Felt the morning sun and knew that
This was my once-a-year day
Once-a-year day
Even got a kiss from you

[BABE]
I feel like hoppin' up and down
Like a kangaroo

[SID]
Jumpin' fences, climbin' trees

[BABE]
What pleases me is what I'll do 'cause

[SID & BABE]
This is my once-a-year day
Once-a-year day
Everyone's entitled to be wild

[SID]
Be a child
[BABE]
Be a goof

[SID]
Raise the roof

[SID & BABE]
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

[MAN 1]
Look at Charlie up a tree
Kissin' Katie's ear
Charlie's wife is mad as hell

[ENSEMBLE]
Oh well, it happens once a year

[WOMAN]
Look at Papa Halterbush
Ninety-two today
Running off with Sadie Lee
[ENSEMBLE]
He's heading for that pile of hay
'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.]

[MAN 2]
Ba-doom, ba-doom, ba-doom, ba-doom

[ENSEMBLE]
Once-a-year day

[MAN 2]
Ba-doom, ba-doom, ba-doom, ba-doom

[ENSEMBLE]
Once-a-year day
Felt the morning sun and knew that

[MAN 2]
This was my
[ENSEMBLE]
Once-a-year day
Wah, once-a-year day
Everyone's entitled to be wild
Be wild, be a child
Be a goof and raise the roof
Once a year
Once a year!
