Egg Hunt Song

To tune of: Paw Paw Patch

Hunting for eggs;

Put 'em in my basket.

Hunting for eggs;

Put 'em in my basket.

Hunting for eggs;

Put 'em in my basket.

Now my baskets full.

Dumping my eggs,

In the big basket.

Dumping my eggs,

In the big basket.

Dumping my eggs.

in the big basket;

We found all the eggs!
