A-Tisket, A-Tasket (4kids)

A-tisket, a-tasket, a green and yellow basket,

I wrote a note to my best friend and on the way I passed it.

I skipped along so happily, the sun was shining bright,

I tossed my note up in the air, it danced into the light!

Oh where, oh where, could my little basket be?

I’ve looked around the playground, I’ve checked behind the tree!

A-tisket, a-tasket, come back to me so soon,

I’ll find you when the stars come out beneath the silver moon!

I searched behind the sandbox, I looked beneath the slide,

I even asked the bunnies who were hopping side to side.

The puppy barked, the bluebird sang, the kitty purred with cheer,

They all joined in to help me out—my basket must be near!

Oh where, oh where, could my little basket be?

I’ll check the garden daisies, and maybe near the tree!

A-tisket, a-tasket, it’s hiding just from me,

I’ll find it when I follow all the clues I start to see!

A trail of colored ribbons led me through the park,

I tiptoed very quietly—it wasn’t even dark!

Behind the bench, a giggle came, a whisper soft and sweet,

“My friend, I found your basket here—look inside, a treat!”

Inside the green and yellow weave, a letter bright and new,

Said “Friendship is the treasure that always shines for you!”

So I smiled big and hugged my friend beneath the setting sun,

We laughed and sang together, oh what fun, what fun, what fun!

A-tisket, a-tasket, my green and yellow basket,

I found it with my dearest friend, and oh I had to ask it,

“Will you keep our memories, our giggles, and our glee?”

Now my basket’s full of friendship—forever it will be!

So if you lose your basket, your toy, or favorite hat,

Just follow where the laughter goes—you’ll always find it back.

A-tisket, a-tasket, a tune for you and me,

Let’s sing this happy melody together joyfully!
