A-tisket a-tasket

A brown-and-yellow basket

I sent a letter to my mommy

On the way I dropped it.



I dropped it, I dropped it

Yes, on the way I dropped it

A little girlie picked it up

And put it in her pocket.



She was truckin' on down the avenue

Without a single thing to do

She was peck, peck, peckin' all around

When she spied it on the ground



She took it, she took it, my yellow basket

And if she doesn't bring it back

I think that I will die



A tisket- a -tasket

I lost my yellow basket

and if that girlie dont return it

I dont know what I'll do.



Oh dear, I wonder where my basket can be ( so do we [x 5])

Oh Gee I wish that little girl I could see ( so do we [ x5])

Oh why was I so careless with that basket of mine?

That ity-bity basket was a joy of mine.



A-tisket a-tasket I lost my yellow basket

Wont someone help me find my basket and make me happy again.



(Was it green?) No, no, no, no

(Was it red?) No, no, no, no

(Was it blue?) No, no, no, no

Just a little yellow basket



A little yellow basket...
