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
