   Lyrics
   A-tisket A-tasket
   A brown and yellow basket
   I send a letter to my mommy
   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
   Not a single thing to do
   She went peck peck pecking 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 will die
   A-tisket A-tasket
   I lost my yellow basket
   And if the girlie don't return it
   Don't know know what I'll do
   Oh dear I wonder where my basket can be
   (So do we, so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
   Oh gee I wish that little girl I could see
   (So do we, so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
   Oh why… Full lyrics on Google Play
