Das Lied ist einer der großen Erfolge der Ella Fitzgerald:

 

Please listen it's awful bad

Please listen I'm awful sad

Please help me I'm singin' the Blues.

A-Tisket A-Tasket,

A green and yellow basket,

I bought a basket for my mommie,

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 took it to the market,

She was truckin' on down the Avenue

without a single thing to do;

She was peck, peck, peckin' all around.

When she spied it on the ground

A-Tisket A-Tasket

She took my yellow basket

And if she doesn't bring it back,

I think I shall die.

 

(Was it red?)

No, No, No, No,

(Was it brown?)

No, No, No, No,

(Was it blue)

No, No, No, No,

Just a little yellow basket.
