A tisket, a tasket
A brown an' yellow basket
I send 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
An' put it in her pocket
She was truckin' on down the avenue
With not 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
An' if she doesn't bring it back
I think that I will die
A tisket, a tasket
I lost my yellow basket
An' if that girlie don't return it
Don't know what I'll do
Oh, I wonder where my basket can be
Oh, dear, I wish that little girl I could see
Oh, why was I so careless with that basket of mine
That iddy-biddy basket was the joy of mine
Tisket, tasket
I watch my yellow basket
Well, tell my nappy find my basket
Make me happy again, again
(Was it green?)
No, no, no, no
(Was it red?)
No, no, no, no
(Was it blue?)
No, just a little yellow basket
A little yellow basket
