Easter Parade 2010

Words by Martha Michael & Jim Harris
+ + + (to the tune of Irving Berlin's "Easter Parade") + + +


IN YOUR DOGGIE COLLAR
YOU'LL MAKE THE FELLERS HOLLER
I WISH I HAD A DOLLAR FOR EACH HEAD THAT YOU'LL TURN
YOU’LL SHOCK AND AWE THE GENTRY
THEY'LL MAKE A DOCUMENTARY
ABOUT THE STRANGEST ENTRY IN THE EASTER PARADE

ON THE AVENUE, FIFTH AVENUE
HOME SECURITY WILL SNAP YOU
AS YOU FLIP THEM THE BIRD AND A 4-LETTER WORD

YOUR COMBAT BOOTS AND TURBAN
WILL BE A BIT DISTURBIN
TO EACH POLITE SUBURBANITE YOU PASS ON THE WAY
THEY ALL MIGHT THINK YOU’RE SHADY
YOU’RE SURE NO MARSHA BRADY
BUT YOU'RE STILL THE GRANDEST LADY
IN THE EASTER PARADE

Re this song: A much-needed update to the 1940s classic
