I like it    I don't like it

A-tisket a-tasket

A brown-and-yellow basket

I send a letter to 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 put it in her pocket

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 it, she took it

My yellow basket

And if she doesn't bring it back

I think that I will die

A-tisket a-tasket

I lost my yellow basket

And if that girlie don't return it

I don't know what I'll do

(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
