Easter Parade
Irving Berlin
In your Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it,
Irving Berlin
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.
Adorable isn't she, she is anonymous. *
Easter sunday was a very dress up day for the little girl me. Organza, dotted swiss, blue satin ribbon, black patent leather mary janes, lace socks and frilly silly Easter bonnet. Easter basket filled to the brim with jelly beans, pastel sugar eggs, chocolate eggs, a yellow stuffed fluff of a baby chick and always, a lovely Easter bunny.
For all the the Easter glamour I couldn't wait for church to be over, little girl ran to the bedroom to shed the finery, put on overall shorts and be barefoot. Oh yeah, I remember it well. :)
