A-Tisket, A-Tasket

A-Tisket A-Tasket - Ella Fitzgerald

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

But 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 that 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
