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