I remember the English version as "... down in Rotten Row ,,, In a smart magazine". But that is a 75-or-so year old recollection so I don't guarantee its accuracy. But Ron's version is certainly in the main what I used to hear on the wireless in the 30s.

A bit desperate, of course: there wasn't a fashion occasion called the Easter Parade in Hyde Park, as there was on 5th Avenue; and the whole concept of the hat for the occasion being called an "Easter bonnet" was no part of our tradition. The royal opening of the flat-racing season at Ascot was the traditional venue for society ladies to show off their new hats. But I suppose the adaptor did his best.
