"A-Tisket, A-Tasket" (Roud Folk Song Index 13188) is a nursery rhyme first recorded in America in the late 19th century.
In 19th century England, the rhyme used in the same game had somewhat different but evidently related words: Ella Fitzgerald and Al Feldman (later known as Van Alexander), extended and embellished the rhyme into a jazz piece that was her breakthrough hit with the Chick Webb Orchestra in 1938.
In Fitzgerald's version a little girl picks up the note and then takes the basket after it is carelessly left on the ground.
A follow-up song written by Fitzgerald and Webb entitled "I Found My Yellow Basket" (1938) was less successful.
Curly Howard recites a paraphrase of the (non-musical) rhyme in the Three Stooges short We Want Our Mummy (1939).
The Fitzgerald song and its follow up (in which the Yellow Basket is found) feature centrally in Ali Smith's 2008 short story, The Second Person.
