A tisket, a tasket
A brown and yellow basket
I bought a basket 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 took it to the market
She was truckin' on down the avenue
Without a single thing to do
She was peck, peckin' all around
When she spied it on the ground
She took it, she took it
She took my yellow basket
And if she doesn't bring it back
I think that I will die
A tisket, a tasket
She took 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 could be
(So do we, so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
You're so caring
Oh gee, I wish that little girl I could see
(So do we, so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
Yeah
I wonder what happened to that basket of mine
That itty-bitty teeny tiny basket was a joy of mine
Oh, a tisket, a tasket
I lost my yellow basket
Won't someone help me find my basket
And make me happy 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
