A-Tisket, A-Tasket-Ella Fitzgerald

A-Tisket A-Tasket A brown and yellow basket I sent a letter to 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 put it in her pocket 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 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 I don't know what I'll do Oh dear, I wonder where my basket can be Oh gee I wish that little girl I could see Oh why was I so careless with that basket of mine That itty bitty 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
