A-tis-ket a-tas-ket
A brown-and-yel-low bas-ket
I wrote a let-ter to my mom-my
On the way I dropped it
I dropped it, I dropped it
Yes, on the way I dropped it
A lit-tle girl-ie picked it up
And put it in her poc-ket
She was truck-in' on down the av-e-nue
With-out a sin-gle thing to do
She went peck, peck, peck-in' all a-round
When she spied it on the ground
She took it, she took it
My lit-tle yel-low bas-ket
And if she does-n't bring it back
I think that I will die
I think that I will die
A-
tis-ket a-tas-ket
I lost my yel-low bas-ket
And if that girl-ie don't re-turn
I don't know what I'll do
Oh gee. I won-der where my bas-ket can be
(So do we. So do we. So do we.
So do we. So do we.)
Oh dear, I wish that lit-tle girl I could see.
(So do we. So do we. So do we.
So do we. So do we.)
Oh, why was I so care-less
With that bas-ket of mine
That it-ty, bit-ty bas-ket was a joy of mine.
I lost my yel-low bas-ket.
Won't some-one help me find my bas-ket;
Make me hap-py a-gain, a- gain
(Was it green?) No no no no
(Was it red?) No, no, no, no
(Was it blue?) No, no, no, no
Just a lit-tle yel-low bas-ket.
Bop, bop dee di dee do ba bop
A lit-tle yel-low bas-ket
