A-Tisket, A-Tasket

["Basket, Basket, Who's Got the Basket?" by The Baskets plays.]

A little girlie picked it up and put it in her pocket. She was walking on down the avenue without a single thing to do. She went step, step, stepping all around when she spotted on the ground. She took it, she took it, my little yellow basket. And if she doesn't bring it back, I think that I shall die. Say the...

You're looking kind of blue. Isn't there something we can do for you? Well, play me some jazz on that fly trombone, and see if you can bring the basket back home.

Johnny Mintz, can't you give me a hand? I'd rather play in a hot swing band. Well, go ahead and play. What can I lose? I'll get rid of these taskin' blues. ["Taskin' Blues"] Oh dear, the only one left is Skeet.

And he looks like he's half asleep. A tisket, a tasket, I found a lot of baskets. Deet Herford, you're just the man for me. Tell me, what kind of basket did you see? I have a red one. No, no, no, no. I have a blue one. No, no, no, no. Well, a green one. No, no, no, no. Just a little yellow basket.

A teeskut, a tasskut, my little yellow basket. If someone doesn't bring it back, I think that I shall die. Just a little yellow basket.
