A tisket, a tasket, a brown and yellow basket
Well I wrote 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 she put it in her pocket
She was trucking on down the avenue
without a single thing to do
She went peck peckin' all around
Then 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
Ah dap dip, ah dap di da di da
Ah di ba du ba du ba du ba du ba du ba du ba du ba du ba du bap du ba da
Ahhh a tisket a tasket you know I lost my yellow basket
And if that girlie don't return it I don't know what I'll do
Oh gee I wonder where my basket can be
(So do we, so do we, so do we)
Oh gee, I wish that little girlie I could see
(So do we , so do we, so do we)
With this bit of love I did not to care that little basket of mine
Oh 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 again
(Was it blue?)
No no no no
(Was it green?)
No no no no no no no no no
(Was is white?)
Oh they're not there
eeh oh wee o wee
bu do ba ba bi do wee a ba di
My little yellow basket
