GEORGE & IRA GERSHWIN
A-tisket A-tasket A brown and
Yellow basket
I send 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 put it in her pocket
She was truckin on down the avenue Not a single thing to do
She went peck peck pecking all
Around
When 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
A-tisket A-tasket I lost my yellow
Basket
And if the girlie don't return it
Don't know know what I'll do
Oh dear I wonder where my
Basket can be
Oh gee I wish that little girl I
Could see
Oh why was I so careless with that
Basket of mine?
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?
Just a little yellow basket A little
Yellow basket
