And my heart beat fast as I came through the door for...
In your Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it

I'll be all in clover, and when they look you over

Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet
And of the girl I'm taking to 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

Oh, you may write a sonnet about my Easter bonnet
And of the girl you're taking to the Easter Parade
