-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

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 -5*
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.

I lost my yel-low bas-ket.
-5*   -5*  -5*   5 -3* -5* -5*  5  -3*
