Cry Me A River Lyrics

[00:17.97] A-tisket, a-tasket
[00:20.33] A brown and yellow basket
[00:23.32] I send a letter to my mommy
[00:26.62] On the way I dropped it
[00:29.32] I dropped it, I dropped it
[00:31.87] Yes, on the way I dropped it
[00:35.13] A little girlie picked it up
[00:37.98] And put it in her pocket
[00:40.81] She was truckin' on down the avenue
[00:44.07] But not a single thing to do
[00:46.86] She went peck, peck, peckin' all around
[00:49.97] When she spied it on the ground
[00:52.77] She took it, she took it
[00:55.26] My little yellow basket
[00:58.36] And if she doesn't bring it back
[01:01.30] I think that I will die
[01:20.15] A-tisket, a-tasket
[01:22.88] I lost yellow basket
[01:25.65] And if that girlie don't return it
[01:28.71] Don't know what I'll do
[01:31.29] Oh dear, I wonder where my basket can be
[01:37.37] (So do we, so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
[01:43.00] Oh gee, I wish that little girl I could see
[01:49.09] (So do we, so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
[01:54.98] Oh, why was I so careless with that basket of mine
[01:59.77] That itty-bitty basket was a joy of mine
[02:05.55] A-tisket, a-tasket
[02:07.98] I lost my yellow basket
[02:10.88] Won't someone help me find my basket
[02:14.02] And make me happy again, again
[02:16.70] (Was it green?) no no no no
[02:19.46] (Was it red?) no no no no
[02:22.39] (Was it blue?) no no no no
[02:25.21] Just a little yellow basket
[02:31.00] A little yellow basket
