Oh, lay 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
With 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

Hi Ho Silver
Tisket a-tasket
I lost my yellow basket
And if the girlie don't return it
Don't know what I'll do

Oh dear, I wonder where my basket can be
(So do we, so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
Me say, have you seen it over there?
Oh dear, I wish that little girl I could see
(So do we, so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
Have you seen it over there?

Oh, why was I so careless
With that basket of mine?
That itty bitty basket was a joy of mine

Tisket, tasket
I lost my yellow basket
Won't someone help me find my basket
And make me happy again, again?

(Was it green?)
No, no, no, no
(Was it red?)
No, no, no, no
(Was it blue?)
Hey, no, just a little yellow basket
A little yellow basket

Oh, lay a-tisket a-tasket
A brown and yellow basket
I send a letter to my mommy
