(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.
