A wooden spade they gave to me
To dig the sandy shore.

A Tisket, A Tasket

A tisket,
A tasket,

A green and yellow basket,

And on the way I dropped it.
A little boy picked it up
And put it in his pocket.

in the tree top.
When the wind blows,
the cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks,
the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby,
cradle and all.

and God bless me
God bless the somebody I'd like to see!
