A Tisket, A Tasket Lyrics

A Tisket, A Tasket - The Platters

Written by:Al Feldman/Ella Fitzgerald

A tisket a tasket

 

A green and yellow basket

I dropped a basket for 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 to the market

She was truckin' down the avenue

 

But not a single thing to do

She went peck peck pecking all around

When she spied it on the ground

 

My tisket my tasket

 

She took my yellow basket

And if she doesn't bring it back

I think that I shall die

 

Was it blue

 

No no no no

Was it green

No no no no

 

No no no no

Just a little yellow basket

 

Just a little yellow basket

 

She was truckin' down the avenue

 

But not a single thing to do

She went peck peck pecking all around

When she spied it on the ground

My tisket my tasket

 

My yellow basket

And if she doesn't bring it back

 

I think that I shall die
