A tisket, a tasket,
Brown and yellow basket,
Sent a letter to my baby,
On the way I dropped it

I dropped it, I dropped it, yes, on the way I dropped it,
Pretty girlie picked it up,
And put it in her pocket

She was truckin' on down the avenue,
Without a single thing to do,
Kept on truckin' all around,
When she spied it all around,

Ah, she took it, she took it!
The little yellow basket,
And if she doesn't bring it back,
I think that I shall die

Get it for me, son
Yeah
Get out there and find my basket
Yeah Ha ha! That's what I'm talking about
All right, here's my basket
You get a basket,
Everybody get a basket! Yeah!
Well, all right, then!

She was truckin' down the avenue,
Without a single thing to do,
Kept on truckin' all around,
When she spied it on the ground!

She took it, took it,
The little yellow basket,
And if she doesn't bring it back,
I think that I shall die

Was it red?
No, no!
Was it green?
No, no!
Was it blue?
No, no!
No, just a little yellow basket!

Yeah! Get that basket fixed
