[G] [D]
[Em] A tisket, a tasket, a brown and yellow basket.
I sent a [Am] letter to my mommy [Em] on the way I dropped it.
I dropped it, I dropped [D] it, [Em] yes on the way I dropped it.
A [D] little girlie [Am] picked it up and put it [G] in her pocket.
She was [C] truckin' on down [G] the avenue, not a single [B] thing to do.
[C] She went peck, peck, pecking all around [Em] when she spied it on the ground.
She took it, she took it, my little yellow [Am] basket.
And if she doesn't bring it back, I think that I [D] will die.
[G]
[E] A tisket, a tasket, I lost my yellow basket.
And if that [C] girlie don't return it, [E] don't know what I'll do.
[G] Oh dear, [D] I wonder [G] where my basket can be.
So [C#] do we, so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we.
[D] [Em] Oh gee, [A] I wish that [Em] little girl I could [G] see.
So do we, [Em] so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we.
[G] Oh, why was [Cm] I so careless [G] with that basket of mine?
[C] That itty [G] bitty basket was the [D] joy of mine.
[G] A tisket, a tasket, I lost my yellow basket.
[Am] Won't someone help me find my basket and make me happy [G] again, again.
One and [Em] three, no, no, [D] no, no.
One and red, no, no, no, [Em] no.
One and blue, no, no, [Am] no, no.
Just a little [G] yellow basket.
[C]
[Am] [G] Basket.
