A Tisket, A Tasket
A brown and yellow basket
I sent a letter to my Mummy
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
Without 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 I'd would die

A Tisket, A Tasket
I lost my yellow basket
And if that girlie don't return it
Don't know what I'll do

Oh dear, I wonder where my basket can be
Oh gee, I wish that little girl like could see
Oh, why was I so careless with that basket of mine
That itny, bitny basket was a 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

(Was it green) No, no, no...
(Was it red) No, no, no...
(Was it blue) No, no, no... just a little yellow basket
A little yellow basket

First you say you do
And then you don't
And then you say you will
And then you won't
You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do

Now you want to play
And then it's no
And when you say you'll stay
That's when you go
You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do

I've been sitting on a fence
And it doesn't make much sense
'Cause you keep me in suspense
And you know it

Then you promise to return
When you don't I really burn
Well, I guess I'll never learn
And I show it

If you've got a heart
And if you're kind
Then don't keep us apart
Make up your mind
You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do

When I was a kid about half past three
My ma said "Daughter, come here to me"
Said things may come, and things may go
But this is one thing you ought to know...

Oh 't ain't what you do it's the way that you do it
'T ain't what you do it's the way that you do it
'T ain't what you do it's the way that you do it
That's what gets results

'T ain't what you do it's the time that you do it (3x)
That's what gets results

You can try hard
Don't mean a thing
Take it easy, greasy
Then your jive will swing

Oh 't ain't what you do it's the place that you do it
'T ain't what you do it's the time that you do it
'T ain't what you do it's the way that you do it
That's what gets results

You've learned your ABC's
You've learned your DFG's
But this is something you don't learn in school
So get your hip boots on
And then you'll carry on
But remember if you're tryin' too hard
It don't mean a thing
Take it easy

'T ain't what you bring it's the way that you bring it
'T ain't what you swing it's the way that you swing it
'T ain't what you sing - it's the way that you sing it
That's what gets results

'T ain't what you do it's the way that you do it (3x)
That's what gets results

Re-bop!

The one I love belongs to somebody else
He means his tender songs for somebody else
And even when I have my arms around him
I know his thoughts are strong for somebody else

The hands I hold belong to somebody else
I'll bet they're not so cold to somebody else
It's tough to be alone on the shelf
It's worse to fall in love by yourself
The one I love belongs to somebody else

The one I love belongs to somebody, somebody else (somebody else)
He means his tender songs for somebody else (Why, why can't it be for me)
And even when I have my arms around him
I know his thoughts are strong for somebody else (somebody else oh)

The hands I hold belong to somebody else
I'll bet they're not so cold to somebody else
It's tough to be alone on the shelf
It's worse to fall in love by yourself
The one I love, yes the one I love
Oh the one I love belongs to somebody else
