Ella Fitzgerald A-tisket A-tasket Lyrics

A-tisket A-tasket Lyrics

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
