A-tisket, a-tasket

A green and yellow basket

I sent a letter to my love

And 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 little yellow basket

And if she doesn't bring it back

I think that I shall die
