A Tisket, A Tasket - The Platters
Written by:Al Feldman/Ella Fitzgerald
A tisket a tasket
A green and yellow basket
I dropped a basket for 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 to the market
She was truckin' down the avenue
But not a single thing to do
She went peck peck pecking all around
When she spied it on the ground
My tisket my tasket
She took my yellow basket
And if she doesn't bring it back
I think that I shall die
Was it blue
No no no no
Was it green
No no no no
No no no no
Just a little yellow basket
Just a little yellow basket
She was truckin' down the avenue
But not a single thing to do
She went peck peck pecking all around
When she spied it on the ground
My tisket my tasket
My yellow basket
And if she doesn't bring it back
I think that I shall die
