A-Tisket, A-Tasket

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 girly picked it up and put it in her pocket



she was truckin' on down the avenue

with not a single thing to do

she went pick, pick, picking all around

when she spied it on the ground

she took it, she took it,

my little 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 girly dont return it

dont know what ill do

oh dear i wonder where my basket can be?

(so do we, so do we, so do we)

oh gee! i wish that little girl i could see

(so do we, so do we, so do we)

oh why was i so careless with that basket of mine?

that itty bitty 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
