A Tisket a Tasket

A Tisket a Tasket - Ella Fitzgerald

A tisket

A tasket

A brown and yellow basket

I send 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 trucking on down the avenue

Not a single thing to do

She went peck peck pecking 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 the girlie don't return it

Don't know what I'll do

Oh dear I wonder where my basket can be

So do we

So do we

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

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

Won't someone help me find my basket

And make me happy again

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
