A-Tisket A-Tasket Lyrics

Artist: Ella Fitzgerald

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

by Sandi on 11/21/2009 1:29am LadyG and Hannah have it right. Just look it up on YouTube ... Ella sang it as part of a scene in a movie (Ride Em Cowboy). Whatever other versions there are out there are just that .. versions.. they are not the original lyrics.
