A-tisket a-tasket
a green-and-yellow basket
i bought a basket for my mommie
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 took it to the market
She was truckin' on down the avenue
without a single thing to do
she was peck, peck, peckin' all around
when she spied it on the ground
A-tisket a-tasket
she took my yellow basket
and if she doesn't bring it back
i think that i shall die
(was it red?) no, no, no, no
(was it brown?) no, no, no, no
(was it blue?) no, no, no, no
just a little yellow basket
