Manhattan Transfer - A-tisket, A-tasket Lyrics
A-tisket, a-tasketA brown and yellow basketI sent a letter to my mommyOn the way I dropped itI dropped it, I dropped itYes on the way I dropped itA little girlie picked it upAnd put it in her pocketShe was truckin on down the avenueNot a single thing to doShe went peck, peck, peckin all aroundWhen she spied it on the groundShe took it, she took it,My little yellow basketAnd if she doesnt bring it backI think that I will dieA-tisket, a-tasketI lost my yellow basketAnd if that girlie dont return itDont know what Ill doOh 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 was I so careless with that basket of mineThat itty-bitty basket was a joy of mineA-tisket, a-tasket,I lost my yellow basketWont someone help me find my basketAnd make me happy again, again!(was it green? )No, no, no, no(was it red? )No, no, no, no(was it blue? )No, no, no, noJust a little yellow basketA little yellow basket
