EASTER PARADE
Irving Berlin, 1933

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.

From "As Thousands Cheer." Original melody written in 1917, "Smile and Show Your Dimple."
