A-tisket a-tasket
A green-and-yellow basket
I bought a basket for 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
And took it to the market
She was truckin' on down the avenue
Without a single thing to do
She was peck, peck, peckin' all around
When she spied it on the ground
A-tisket a-tasket
She took my yellow basket
And if she doesn't bring it back
I think that I shall die
(Was it red?) No, no, no, no
(Was it brown?) No, no, no, no
(Was it blue?) No, no, no, no
Just a little yellow basket
[words and music by Ella Fitzgerald and Van Alexander] A-tisket a-tasket A green-and-yellow basket I bought a basket for 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 And took it to the market She was truckin' on down the avenue Without a single thing to do She was peck, peck, peckin' all around When she spied it on the ground A-tisket a-tasket She took my yellow basket And if she doesn't bring it back I think that I shall die (Was it red?) No, no, no, no (Was it brown?) No, no, no, no (Was it blue?) No, no, no, no Just a little yellow basket Explain Request ×
