On A Sunday Afternoon was originally published in 1902. The waltz was one of the earliest hits from Tin Pan Alley songwriter Harry Von Tilzer. The lyrics were written by lyricist Andrew B Sterling - Tilzer's songwriting partner for almost 30 years. In 1930, On A Sunday Afternoon was used as the basis for an installment of the Screen Songs series featuring The Famous Bouncing Ball.

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”
