Here comes Peter Cottontail;

Hoppin' down the bunny trail,

Hippity hoppin', Easter's on its way;

Bringin' ev'ry girl and boy;

A basketful of Easter joy;

Things to make your Easter bright and gay;

He's got jelly beans for Tommy;

Colored eggs for sister Sue;

There's an orchid for your mommy;

And an Easter bonnet too. Oh!

Here comes Peter Cottontail;

Hoppin' down the bunny trail;

Hippity hoppity Happy Easter Day.

*******************************************************

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.
