1. “ A Tisket a Tasket A Green and Yellow Basket” A Jazz Song Performed by Ella Fitzgerald

2. A- tisket a-tasket, a green and yellow basket

3. I wrote a letter to my mom

4. And on the way I dropped it

5. I dropped it, I dropped it

6. Yes, on the way I dropped it

7. A little girlie picked it up and took it to the market

8. She was truckin’ on down the avenue

9. Without a single thing to do.

10. She went a-peck, peck pecking all around

11. When she spied it on the ground!

12. She took it, she took it,

13. My little yellow basket

14. And if she doesn’t bring it back,

15. I think that I shall die.

17. A-tisket, a-tasket, I lost my yellow basket

18. And if that girlie don’t return it,

19. Don’t know what I’ll do.

21. Have you seen it over there?

22. Oh dear, I wish that little girl I could see.

23. Have you seen her over there?

24. Oh why was I so careless with that basket of mine

25. That ity bity basket was a joy of mine

26. Tisket, Tasket, lost my yellow basket

27. Won’t someone help me find my basket

28. Make me happy again, again

29. Was it red? No, no, no, no

30. Brown? No, no, no, no

31. Blue? No, no, no, no!

32. Just a little yellow basket!!

33. A-tisket, a-tasket, I found my yellow basket

34. I thought I lost it to that girlie,

35. But I found it after all.
