Easter Parade

Words and music by Irving Berlin



Never saw you look quite so pretty before.

Never saw you dressed quite so lovely, whatŽs 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:



In your Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it,

YouŽll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade.

IŽll be all in clover, and when they look you over

IŽll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade.



On the Avenue, Fifth Avenue,

The photographers will snap us

And youŽll find that youŽre in the Rotogravure.

Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet

And of the girl IŽm taking to the Easter Parade.



In my Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it,

IŽll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade.

YouŽll be all in clover, and when they look me over

YouŽll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade.



On the Avenue, Fifth Avenue,

The photographers will snap us

And youŽll find that youŽre in the rotogravure.

Oh, you may write a sonnet about my Easter bonnet

And of the girl youŽre taking to the Easter Parade.
