Manhattan Transfer - A - Tisketa - Tasket lyrics

A-tisketa-tasket

A brown and yellow basket

I sent a letter to my mommy

On the way I dropped it

I dropped itI dropped it

Yes on the way I dropped it

A little girlie picked it up

And put it in her pocket

She was truckin' on down the avenue

Not a single thing to do

She went peckpeckpeckin' all around

When she spied it on the ground

She took itshe took it

My little yellow basket

And if she doesn't bring it back

I think that I will die

A-tisketa-tasket

I lost my yellow basket

And if that girlie don't return it

Don't know what I'll do

Oh dearI wonder where my basket can be?

(so do weso do weso do weso do weso do we)

Oh geeI wish that little girl I could see

(so do weso do weso do weso do weso do we)

Oh why was I so careless with that basket of mine

That itty-bitty basket was a joy of mine

A-tisketa-tasket

I lost my yellow basket

Won't someone help me find my basket

And make me happy againagain!

(was it green? )

Nononono

(was it red? )

Nononono

(was it blue? )

Nononono

Just a little yellow basket

A little yellow basket
