A-tisket, a-tasket  
I lost my money basket.  
I was in my limo  
To the White House  
And on the way I dropped it,  
I dropped it, I dropped it,  
And on the way I dropped it.  
A stormy girl she picked it up  
And put it in her pocket.

I have a little bird  
That says tweet-tweet,  
I have a little fixer  
That says meow-meow —  
Shan’t bite you, shan’t bite you,  
(Not yet) shall I bite you!

A-tisket, a-tasket  
I lost my money basket  
I was in my limo  
To the White House  
And on the way  
I lost it
