Joy Of Mine

a-tisket, a-tasket

a brown and yellow basket

i sent a letter to 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 put it in her pocket

she was truckin' on down the avenue

not a single thing to do

she went peck, peck, peckin' all around

when she spied it 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 will die

oh dear, i wonder where my basket can be?

(so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)

oh gee, i wish that little girl i could see

(so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)

oh why was i so careless with that basket of mine

that itty-bitty basket was the joy of mine

a-tisket, a-tasket,

i lost my yellow basket

won't someone help me find my basket

and make me happy again

again - oh dear - oh gee

oh why was i so

careless with that basket of mine

careless with that basket of mine

careless with that basket of mine

that itty-bitty basket was the joy of mine
