A-tisketa-tasket
A brown and yellow basket
I sent a letter to my mommy
On the way I dropped it
I dropped itI 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 peckpeckpeckin’ all around
When she spied it on the ground
She took itshe took it
My little yellow basket
And if she doesn’t bring it back
I think that I will die
A-tisketa-tasket
I lost my yellow basket
And if that girlie don’t return it
Don’t know what I’ll do
Oh dearI wonder where my basket can be?
(so do weso do weso do weso do weso do we)
Oh geeI wish that little girl I could see
(so do weso do weso do weso do weso do we)
Oh why was I so careless with that basket of mine
That itty-bitty basket was a joy of mine
A-tisketa-tasket
I lost my yellow basket
Won’t someone help me find my basket
And make me happy againagain!

(was it red? )

(was it blue? )
Nononono
Just a little yellow basket
A little yellow basket
