- Verse:
- Never saw you look quite
so pretty before,
- Never saw you dressed quite
so lovely, what's more,
- I could hardly wait to keep
our date this lovely Easter morning,
- And my heart beat fast as
I came through the door for:
-
- Chorus:
- In your Easter bonnet, With
all the frills upon it,
- You'll be the grandest lady
in the Easter Parade.
- I'll be all in clover, And
when they look you over,
- I'll be the proudest fellow
in the Easter Parade.
- On the Avenue, Fifth Avenue,
- The photographers will snap
us, And you'll find that you're In the rotogravure.
- Oh, I could write a sonnet,
About your Easter bonnet,
- And of the girl I'm taking
to the Easter Parade.
