Me, oh, my, there's a lot to buy
There is shopping I must do
Happy Easter to you
Here's a hat that you must take home
Happy Easter
Happy Easter
Here's a lid for milady's dome
Happy Easter
Happy Easter
This was made for the hat parade
On the well-known avenue
This one's nice
And it's worth the price
Happy Easter to you
Here's a hat for a pretty face
Happy Easter
Happy Easter
Here is one that is trimmed with lace
Happy Easter
Happy Easter
Here's a touch of the quaint old Dutch
It's an old that's always new
This in white is exactly right
Happy Easter to you
Maybe you think so too?
I do.
Wrap it up for the chap
With a very happy Easter to you
Never saw such a lovely day
Happy Easter
Everything seems to come your way
Happy Easter
My, oh, me, what a kick to be
On the well-known avenue
Me, oh, my, you're a lucky guy
Happy Easter to you
Happy Easter
Happy Easter
Happy Easter to you
A bunny for my honey
A dolly with a curl
An aeroplane, an electric train
And a teddy bear for my girl
A kitty for my pretty
A castle for my love
Gee!
What do I see?
Brother, if that's a drum
That's for me
I'm drum crazy
Yes, I'm drum crazy
Yes, I'm plum crazy for drums
I've got drumsticks full of hot licks
And a roll
Loaded with soul
Under control
First, soft violins
Then sweet saxophones
Then blue clarinets croon
When it's my turn
I turn into a loon
When the drum takes the melody
When the drum carries a tune
Come on. Alley-oop. Now we go.
- Happy Easter, Essie.
- Oh, Mr. Hewes.
Darling, where are you?
- Don, I've been trying to call you.
- Essie, will you help me, please?
Thank you. Well, I got all tied up
with an Easter rabbit.
Hello, sweetheart.
Here.
Oh, I wish you hadn't.
Haven't they come for your trunks?
I told them to pick them up this morning.
- They weren't ready.
- We'll send them by pigeon.
Here, try on your hat.
We have time to walk in the parade
before our train leaves.
I don't wanna take that train.
It's the last one that'll get us
to Chicago in time for our opening.
Look at that.
This hat will wear
the prettiest girl there.
Don, I have to talk to you.
Essie!
- Take Michelle.
- Come on, short hemline.
I've had an offer for a show.
Well, sure you have. I've had some myself.
Yes, I know.
Listen, baby, we're a team.
We're playing the big time.
See that?
Nadine & Hewes?
That's written in stardust.
They've offered me
a wonderful contract.
They say they'll star me.
And you can dance with anyone.
Well, wait a minute.
I suppose I could.
I've danced with lots of girls.
It's always been just a business.
That was before I met you.
This isn't just dancing. It's...
It's different.
This is...
...us.
It only happens
When I dance with you
That trip to heaven
Till the dance is through
With no one else do the heavens
Seem quite so near
Why does it happen, dear
Only with you?
Two cheeks together
Can be so divine
But only when those cheeks
Are yours and mine
I've danced with dozens of others
But the thrill that comes with spring
That only happens with you
But the thrill that comes with spring
It only happens
I hope I'm intruding.
Why, Professor, when did you get in?
Just now. I had to make up an exam.
- I've got the whole holiday before me.
- Good.
- Need any help celebrating?
- Nadine.
- Johnny.
- I brought you something.
Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny, what a darling.
I know just the dress
to wear him with.
Essie. Essie!
- Take your coat off.
- Look what Mr. Harrow brought us.
- Another one?
- For my new beige suit.
Who pushed you in the face?
I want to give you a farewell tonight.
Where will it be? Delmonico's?
- Please sit down.
- Sherry's?
You decide, you're the party boy.
Gosh, I wish you two weren't leaving.
I'm not leaving.
Oh, but, darling.
I signed that contract, Don.
- You what?
- I signed it this afternoon.
I'm going into a show, Johnny.
Why, you're kidding.
We've signed contracts
for the next six months.
You did. I didn't.
There's no way they can hold me.
I know it must sound
terribly selfish of me, Don...
...but I've got to think of myself.
After all, there's no future in my just being
a ballroom dancer.
You do understand, don't you?
No. I'm sorry.
I don't understand.
- Don...
- Johnny, you understand.
Frankly, no.
You can't be serious.
It doesn't make sense.
- I always thought you and Don were...
- Did you?
He's done everything in the world for you.
Why walk out on him now?
Johnny...
...don't you know?
I think I'd better go and look for Don.
We have a dinner date.
- We'll be back.
- But...
- Can you drown a brunette in this?
- How tall is she?
Five-foot-six.
- Try that.
- Two bourbons, Mike.
She's not going to Chicago.
He travels fastest who travels alone,
I always say.
Right. I bet you know
a lot about women.
I should. I've been single all my life.
- You're a smart fella...
- Mike.
Work behind a bar,
you get to know what makes people tick.
This place is like a clinic.
People come in with their troubles.
Well, if you listen, you learn.
Been here 15 years, and I can boil down
trouble into two classifications.
- Yeah? What are they?
- Hello, Don.
- Hi.
Oh, hello, Professor.
- What'll it be? Blond or brunette?
- The same.
Brunettes. They're the ones
you got to watch.
How did you find me?
I didn't have my crystal ball,
so I just followed you here.
Meet my friend Mike.
He's a disciple of Aristophanes.
- How do you do?
- Pleased to know you.
Don, I'm taking you back to Nadine.
Did she send you for me?
- No, but...
- That's the trouble with college.
You've been reading.
There's more sense in this than in a library.
- Right, Mike?
- Education's all right.
Nadine didn't mean what she said.
You two belong together.
If she'd just fallen in love with some guy,
I could do something about it.
You know she can't get along without you,
or you without her.
Who says I can't get along without her?
See those girls. Any one of them
has as much talent as she.
You're crazy. There's no one like Nadine.
- Dances like an angel, knows how to dress...
- I taught her.
- I could take any of those girls...
- Show's on.
I could take any one of them
and do the same.
She still wouldn't be like Nadine.
I promised I'd get right back. You coming?
She'll come around when contracts
are out of season.
You sure?
No, thanks. You run along.
All right. Take care of him, Mike.
Okay.
Any one of them.
Do I need her?
Well, no man is an island.
- Thanks, Mike.
- Every man is a piece of the continent...
...a part of the main.
Sorry.
Yeah, I think you'll do.
- I'll do what?
