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.

Why all at once my heart took flight
I only know when he began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced all night
