In Your Easter Bonnet
D. F. Martin, Sr.
Need to know the lyrics or web location of "In your Easter Bonet". Any
help out there? mailto:Pathway.net/DMartinSr
Thanks
P.S.
I here that there is a song title going for the Guinness Book as the
longest:
"Drag them of the Interstate, Sock it to them, J. P. Blues". Know any
thing about this one?

You mean Berlin's ballad, "Easter Parade"? I'll try a little from
memory, including the glorious (but often omitted) verse:
Never saw you look quite so lovely before
Never saw you look quite so handsome, what's more
I can hardly wait
To keep our date
This lovely Easter Morning.
And my heart beat fast as I walked to the door
For
In your Easter Bonnet
With all the frills upon it
You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade
You'll be all in clover
And when they look you over
You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade
On the avenue
5th avenue
The photographers will snap us
And you'll find you're
In the rotogravure
Oh I could write a sonnet
About your Easter bonnet, etc.
(I think I've run out of memory here! I also may have mixed pronouns a
little, since the song is often regendered.)

Dunno about that one, but I think the longest so far is
"Several Small Furry Animals Gathered in a Cave and Grooving With a
Pict."
My friend says it's by Pink Floyd, but I've never heard it.
Second place, as far as I know, would have to be
"Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand," by
Primitive Radio Gods.
So it looks like that one is third......corrections?

It's really Irving Berlin's "Easter Parade". A web search should get you
where you want to go.

Not the song. It's a short title by long title standards, tho'.

You must be referring to "Easter Parade", a rewritten version of a 1917
Irving Berlin song called "Smile and Show Your Dimple". It first became a
hit in 1933 after being featured in the revue "As Thousands Cheer" and was
immortalized in the 1948 film "Easter Parade" starring Judy Garland and Fred
Astaire. Here's how Al Jolson sang it on his 1948 recording:
Easter Parade
Written by Irving Berlin
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 that Easter Parade
On the avenue, I'm talkin' 'bout 5th 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 that Easter Parade
* In your Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it
** I'll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade
* Oh, I'll be all in clover and when they look you over
** You'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade
On the avenue, I'm talkin' 'bout 5th Avenue
The photographers will snap us
And you'll find that you're in the rotogravure
Oh, I could write a sonnet about that Easter bonnet
And of the girl I'm taking to that Easter Parade
(In the Easter Parade)
