Spring is here, at last - I told you time-travel is fast!

 

Easter Parade
By Irving Berlin (Copyright 1933)

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 that 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
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.
