A-Tisket, A-Tasket

A-Tisket, A-Tasket

music and lyric by Al Feldman (aka Van Alexander)
and Ella Fitzgerald

A-tisket, a-tasket, a brown and yellow basket;

I bought 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 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 green? No, no, no, no.

Was it blue? No, no, no, no;

Just a little yellow basket...
