Lyrics A-Tisket, A -Tasket - Mildred Bailey

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
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
