By Irving Berlin1933
By the same man who gave us the ultimate Christmas standard, Irving Berlin, came this tune--which has become the ultimate Easter standard. Originally written for the Broadway revue As Thousands Cheer, in which it was introduced by Marilyn Miller and Clifton Webb, it later gained even more notoriety thanks to being sung by Bing Crosby in the film Holiday Inn, and in 1948 an entire musical film was built around it, starring Fred Astaire and Judy Garland. A true holiday classic from one of America's most cherished composers.
Lyrics:
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.
