IN YOUR EASTER BONNET……

Posted By on April 3rd, 2010

IRVING BERLIN A JEW FROM BROOKLYN WROTE THIS PRETTY SONG. MY FIRST EASTER IN NEW YORK WAS IN 1947 AND THE EASTER PARADE WAS A JOLLY EVENT. WE TOOK A SUBWAY FROM THE BRONX TO FIFTH AVENUE. MY MOTHER, A VERY STYLISH LADY TOOK CUES FROM THE PARADE. SHE WORE A FLOWERED HAT FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON, AND I WAS DECKED OUT IN A “TOPPER” (SHORT AND LIGHT COAT)WHITE SOCKS AND BLACK PATENT LEATHER SHOES. 
 
ON EASTER SUNDAY APRIL 4TH, 1915 TEN INCHES OF SNOW AND GALE FORCE WINDS IN NEW YORK CITY PUT QUITE A DAMPER ON THE PARADE.
 
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! 
 
Music: Irving Berlin
Lyrics: Irving Berlin
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 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
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
