Lyrics[]
Well, Jiminy Cricket, there's Winnie the Pooh
Donald and Mickey, and all of their friends too
They are marching right down Main Street, U.S.A.
They'll chase your worries and your cares away
Join Pluto and Goofy for just a little while
They will delight you, they're bound to make you smile
You'll hear laughs and shouts of joy as troubles fade
At the wonderful Character Parade!
(instrumental bridge)
Join Pluto and Goofy for just a little while
They will delight you, they're bound to make you smile
You'll hear laughs and shouts of joy as troubles fade
At the wonderful... Character... Parade!
Line up at the curb, come on everyone
Here the excitement, and fun has just begun
As your Disney friends come dancing down the street
This sure is a show that can't be beat
For music and color, and laughter it brings
Toes will be tapping when everybody sings
You'll hear/There'll be shouts of joy as all your troubles fade
At the wonderful Disneyland Parade!
(musical bridge)
Line up at the curb, come on everyone
Here the excitement and fun has just begun
You'll hear/There'll be shouts of joy as all your troubles fade
At the wonderful... Disneyland... Parade!
Trivia[]
- On some occasions, the final line would be changed, including a version that said "At the Disneyland/Disney World Character Parade". For Mickey Mouse's 50th Birthday Parade, it was changed to "At the Mickey Mouse Birthday Parade".
