I sent a letter to my mommy
(So do we, so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
A-tisket, a-tasket
But not a single thing to do
(So do we, so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
No, no, no, no
(Was it blue?)
I think that I will die
I lost my yellow basket
And put it in her pocket
I lost my yellow basket
Oh dear, I wonder where my basket can be
Won't someone help me find my basket
And make me happy again, again?
(Was it green?)
When she spied it on the ground
Oh, why was I so careless with that basket of mine?
On the way, I dropped it
She went peck, peck, pecking all around
Yes, on the way I dropped it
And if she doesn't bring it back
Just a little yellow basket
I dropped it, I dropped it
(Was it red?)
No, no, no, no
A little girlie picked it up
My little yellow basket
She was truckin' on down the avenue
No, no, no, no
And if that girlie don't return it
She took it, she took it
A-tisket, a-tasket
Don't know what I'll do
That itty bitty basket was a joy of mine
Oh gee, I wish that little girl, I could see
