A-tisket a-tasket

A green-and-yellow basket

I bought a basket for my mommie

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 took it to the market



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



A-tisket a-tasket

She took my yellow basket

And if she doesn't bring it back

I think that I shall die



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

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

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

Just a little yellow basket
