Lyrics - A-tisket A-tasket by Fitzgerald Ella

[words and music by
Ella
Fitzgerald and
Van
Alexander]
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
