And she put it in her pocket
A tisket a tasket
Oh gee, I wish that little girlie I could see
You know I lost my yellow basket
I don't know what I'll do
Was it green? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Well, I wrote a letter to my mommie
She took it, she took it
A little girlie picked it up
Yes, on the way I dropped it
Won't someone help me find my basket
She went a-peck, peckin' all around
My little yellow basket
Was it Prada? Oh, that's not fair
So do we, so do we, so do we
I did not take care of that little basket of mine
I lost my yellow basket
I think that I will die
Without a single thing to do
Then she spied it on the ground
A tisket a tasket
So do we, so do we, so do we
And if she doesn't bring it back
I dropped it, I dropped it
And if that girlie don't return it
Oh, that itty-bitty basket was a joy of mine
On the way I dropped it
She was truckin' on down the avenue
And make me happy again, again?
Was it blue? No, no, no, no
Oh gee, I wonder where my basket can be?
