On A Sunday Afternoon Is a classic turn-of-the-century love song written by Harry von Tilzer, one of the best-known songwriters of Tin Pan Alley. The pleasant love song is placed in New York City, and mentions the city's favorite leisure spots - Coney Island, Rockaway Beach and the Hudson River. On A Sunday Afternoon was one of several hits published by Tilzer in 1902 when he launched his own publishing company - the Harry Von Tilzer Music Company. The song is one of several classics of that period that appear in the 1935 Color Classics short film Musical Memories.

ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON
1.
There's a day, we feel gay, if the weather's fine
Every 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:
On a Sunday afternoon, in the merry month of June
Take a trip up the Hudson or down the bay
Take a trolley to Coney or Rockaway
On a Sunday afternoon, you can see the lover's 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
Lover's 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"
