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
