A Tisket A Tasket

A TISKET A TASKET
 
 
“A Tisket A Tasket”  is a nursery rhyme first recorded in America in the late nineteenth century.  It was used as the basis for a very successful and highly regarded 1938 recording by Ella Fitzgerald.  It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 13188.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

As described in Wikipedia:  “Co-host Dan Rowan announced that Laugh-In believed in showcasing new talent, and introduced Tiny Tim.  The singer entered carrying a shopping bag, pulled his soprano ukulele from it, and sang a medley of ‘A Tisket A Tasket’ and ‘On the Good Ship Lollipop’ as an apparently dumbfounded co-host Dick Martin watched.”
