Verse:

Nev -er saw you look Quite so pret -ty be -fore

Nev -er saw you dressed Quite so love -ly, what's more

I could hard -ly wait To keep our date This love -ly East -er morn -ing,

And my heart beat fast As I came through the door for:

 

Chorus:

In your East -er bon -net With all the frills up -on it,

You'll be the grand -est la -dy in The East -er Par -ade.

I'll be all in clov -er, And when they look you ov -er

I'll be the proud -est fel -low in The East -er Par -ade.

On the Av -e -nue, Fifth Av -e -nue,

The pho -to -graph -ers will snap us And you'll find that you're In the ro -to -gra -vure.

Oh, I could write a son -net A -bout your East -er bon -net

And of the girl I'm tak -ing to The East -er Par -ade.
