Ella Fitzgerald — A-Tisket, A-Tasket

A-tisket A-tasketA brown and yellow basketI send a letter to my mommyOn the way I dropped itI dropped itI dropped itYes on the way I dropped itA little girlie picked it upAnd put it in her pocketSHE WAS TRUCKIN ON DOWN THE AVENUENot a single thing to doShe went peck peck pecking all aroundWhen she spied it on the groundShe took itShe took itMy little yellow basketAnd if she doesn’t bring it back I think that I will dieA-tisket A-tasketI lost my yellow basketAnd if the girlie don’t return itDon’t know what I’ll doOh dear I wonder where my basket can be(So do we, so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)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)Oh why was I so careless with that basket of mine?That itty bitty basket was a joy of mine!A-tisketA-tasketI lost my yellow basketWon’t someone help me find my basketAnd make me happy again?(Was it green?) No, no, no, no(Was it red?) No, no, no, no(Was it blue?) No, no, no, noJust a little yellow basketA little yellow basket
