I Wrote a Letter to My Love
This version of "A Tisket, A Tasket" is sung to the tune of "Yankee Doodle"...
I Wrote a Letter to My Love
Children's Song
I wrote a letter to my love,
And on the way I dropped it.
A little doggie picked it up
And put it in his pocket.
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Tra, la, la, la, la, la,
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la!
Notes
Here's another version sung to the "Yankee Doodle" tune…
I lost my handkerchief Saturday night,
And found it Sunday morning;
A little doggie picked it up
And stuck it in his pocket.
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Tra, la, la, la, la, la,
Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la!
