Easter Parade

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
