2 ContributorsEaster Parade Lyrics

This song was written for the 1933 Broadway musical As Thousands Cheer, for a sequence of songs tied to newspaper headlines based on seasons of the year.

(Verse)

Never saw you look quite so lovely before

Never saw you dressed quite so pretty, 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
