A-tisket, a-tasket
 A green and yellow basket
 I send 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 took put it in her pocket
 She was truckin' on down the avenue
 Without 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 would 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
 Oh gee, I wish that little girl I could see
 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
 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
