Paint -ing the blues beau -ti -ful hues, Col -ored with gold and old rose;
Play -ing the clown, Try -ing to drown All of my woes;
Tho' things may not look bright They'll all turn out al -right
If I keep paint -ing the clouds with sun -shine.

Verse:
Nev -er saw you look Quite so pret -ty be -fore
Nev -er saw you dressed Quite so love -ly, what's more
I could hard -ly wait To keep our date This love -ly East -er morn -ing,
And my heart beat fast As I came through the door for:
Chorus:
In your East -er bon -net With all the frills up -on it,
You'll be the grand -est la -dy in The East -er Par -ade.
I'll be all in clov -er, And when they look you ov -er
I'll be the proud -est fel -low in The East -er Par -ade.
On the Av -e -nue, Fifth Av -e -nue,
The pho -to -graph -ers will snap us And you'll find that you're In the ro
-to -gra -vure.
Oh, I could write a son -net A -bout your East -er bon -net
And of the girl I'm tak -ing to The East -er Par -ade.
