The Platters
A Tisket A Tasket
[Verse 1]
A-tisket, a-tasket
A green and yellow basket
I brought a basket for 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 took it to the market

[Bridge]
She was truckin' down the avenue
Without a single thing to do
She was peck, peck, pecking all around
And when she spied it on the ground

[Verse 2]
My tisket, my tasket
She took my yellow basket
And if she doesn't bring it back
I think that I shall die

[Interlude]
Was it blue?
No, no, no, no, no
Was it red?
Oh, no, no, no, no
Was it chartreuse?
Oh, no, no, no, sweetiе
Just a little yellow basket

Oh, no, senor

Just a little yellow basket
[Bridge]
She was truck, truck, truckin' down the avenue
Without a single thing to do
She was pecking, pecking all around
And when she spied it on the ground

[Verse 3]
It was my tisket, my tasket
A yellow basket
And if she doesn't bring it back
I think that I shall die

[Outro]
Oh, I'm in bad shape
Oh, Ella, will you bring back my basket, s'il vous plaît?

Oh, please bring back my yellow basket
