-5*-5* 5 5*-5* 5
A-tis-ket a-tas-ket
5* -5* -5* -5* -6 -5* 5
A brown-and-yel-low bas-ket
5* 5* 5* 5* -3* 5* 5* 5* -5*
I wrote a let-ter to my mom-my
5* -5* 5 -3* 5 -5*
On the way I dropped it
5 -5* 5 5* -5* 5
I dropped it, I dropped it
5* -5* -5* -5* -6 -5* 5
Yes, on the way I dropped it
5 5* 5* 5* -3* 5* 5* 5*
A lit-tle girl-ie picked it up
-3* 5 -5* 5 -3* 5 3*
And put it in her poc-ket
3* -3* 5* 5* 5* -6 -6 6 6 5*
She was truck-in’ on down the av-e-nue
-3* 5 -5* 5 -5* -4 3*-3*
With-out a sin-gle thing to do
3* -3* 5* 5* 5* 5* 6 5* 6
She went peck, peck, peck-in’ all a-round
5 -5* -5* -6 5 3* -3*
When she spied it on the ground
-5* -5* 5 5* -5* 5
She took it, she took it
5* -5* -5* -5* -6 -5* 5
My lit-tle yel-low bas-ket
5 5* 5* 5* -3* 5* 5* 5*
And if she does-n’t bring it back
-5* -5* 5* 5 -3* 3*
I think that I will die

tis-ket a-tas-ket
5* -5* 7* -6* 6 -5* -4
I lost my yel-low bas-ket
-4 4* 4* -3*-3* 4* 4* -3*
And if that girl-ie don’t re-turn
-3* -5* 5* -4 -3* -5*
I don’t know what I’ll do
7* 7* -6 7* 8 7* -6 7* 7* 7*-6-5*
Oh gee. I won-der where my bas-ket can be
-5*-6 -6* -5*-6 -6* -5*-6 -6*
(So do we. So do we. So do we.
-5*-6 -6* -5*-6 -5*
So do we. So do we.)

Oh dear, I wish that lit-tle girl I could see.
-5*-6 -6* -5*-6 -6* -5*-6 -6*
(So do we. So do we. So do we.
-5*-6 -6* -5*-6 -5*
So do we. So do we.)
7* -7* -7*-7*7* -7* -7*
Oh, why was I so care-less
-7* 7* -7* -7* 7* -5*
With that bas-ket of mine
-7* -7*-7* -7*-7* -7* 7* -8 -7* 7* 6 5
That it-ty, bit-ty bas-ket was a joy of mine.
Tisket tas-ket
-5* 7*-6* -6 -6 -4 3*
I lost my yel-low bas-ket.
-5* -5* -5* 5 -3* -5* -5* 5 -3*
Won�t some-one help me find my bas-ket;
-5* -6 -4 3*-3* 3* -4-3* 3*
Make me hap-py a-gain, a- gain

(Was it red?) No, no, no, no
7* -6 7* -6
(Was it blue?) No, no, no, no

Just a lit-tle yel-low bas-ket.
