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...
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
On the Avenue, Fifth Avenue

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

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
