Dancin' A Catchy Rhythm is a song from The Wonderful World of Disney Parade in Disneyland Paris, and since becoming the de facto theme of the entire resort. The lyrics were written by Jay Smith, and the melody by Vasile Sirli.
An instrumental and non-instrumental version of the song was used at Epcot's "Disney Character Double Decker-Bus" which traveled across World Showcase at Walt Disney World, which had various Disney Characters traveling across Epcot to meet guests during the early to mid 2000s.
A remix of the song was played during the 2019-2020 New Year's Eve version of Disney Stars on Parade.
Lyrics[]
Hey there, hi there, ho there
It's a Disney kind of day
Glad to see your smiling faces
As we pass along the way
There's lots of fun and laughter here
A-waiting just for you
All you have to do is make a wish
And watch your dream come true
If you take my hand
Just like Alice
You're in Wonderland
It's magic!
Clap your hands and tap your feet
And shout a big Hurray! (Hurray!)
Mickey and his friends
are calling out your name
To join the Disney Parade!
Dancin' (dancin'!) a catchy rhythm
Singin' (singin'!) a happy song
Playin' (playin'!) together on a holiday!
You'll soon be

Singin' (singin'!) a happy song
Playin' (playin'!) together on a holiday!
Hey there, hi there, ho there

And set your spirits free!

Here we've got a funny saying
That the magic never ends!
If you take my hand
