There's a day we feel gay if the weather's fine; Ev'ry lad feels so glad if the sun does shine. In his best he is dressed and with smiling face. He goes with his Pearlie, his own little girlie, to some nice place. CHORUS [sung two times after each verse] On a Sunday afternoon In the merry month of June Take a trip on the Hudson or down the bay, Take a trolley to Coney or Rockaway, On a Sunday afternoon, You can see the lovers spoon. They work hard on Monday, But one day that's fun day Is Sunday afternoon. 2. Coming home starry dome with a soft moonshine. Lovers kiss oh, what bliss! oh, what joy divine! "Goodnight, Joe." "Goodnight, Flo don't forget now, dear, Next Sunday at two I'll be waiting for you on the old iron Pier."
