Easter Parade by Irving Berlin, is arranged as played by legendary piano showman, Liberace. Here for the first time is the sheet music for this famous song, arranged as performed by Liberace. Now you can learn to play this classic Easter Season song, just like this world-famous pianist.
Easter Parade is a popular song, written by Irving Berlin and published in 1933. Berlin originally wrote the melody in 1917, under the title Smile and Show Your Dimple, as a cheer up song for a girl whose man has gone off to fight in World War I. Â Berlin resurrected the tune, with modifications, and gave it the now-familiar Easter lyrics for the 1933 Broadway musical revue As Thousands Cheer, in which musical numbers were strung together on the thematic thread of newspaper headlines.
In 1942, it was featured in the musical film Holiday Inn, in which it was performed by Bing Crosby. In 1948, it was performed by Judy Garland and Fred Astaire in the musical film Easter Parade, which was constructed around the song.
Władziu Valentino Liberace(May 16, 1919 – February 4, 1987) was an American pianist, singer, and actor. A child prodigy born in Wisconsin to parents of Italian and Polish origin, he enjoyed a career spanning four decades of concerts, recordings, television, motion pictures, and endorsements. At the height of his fame from the 1950s to 1970s, he was the highest-paid entertainer in the world!
Lyrics below:
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
On the avenue, Fifth Avеnue
The photographers will snap us
And you'll find that you'rе
In the rotogravure
Oh, I could write a sonnet
About your Easter bonnet
And of the girl I'm taking
To the Easter parade
