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   Not a single thing to do   She went peck, peck, peckin' 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
