(verse)
Never saw
you look quite so pretty before.
Never saw you dressed quite so lovely,
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.

In my Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it,
I'll be the
grandest lady in the Easter Parade.
You'll be all in clover, and when they
look me over
You'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, you may write a sonnet about my Easter
bonnet
And of the girl you're taking to the Easter Parade.
