Here is a simple song about a box

If I had a itty bitty box to put my ______(name of friend) in,
I’d take him/her out and (kiss, kiss, kiss,)
and put her right back in.

I think it is rather:

What is it about?
A something in my pocket!
I reached in and found nothing,
Then I found a star.
Flew back to the sky it is,
Flew back to the stars,
Happily and merrily I saw it flew up!
Flew up, flew up….
Flew up, flew up….
Flew up, flew up….
Into the skies it went!

How is it? Was it nice?

Love,
Ada

A Yiddish version of “A Tisket a Tasket” was song in the 1930’s at Grossinger’s resort in the New York Catskills.
Does anyone have the words to this song?

What about:
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day

I thought of this:

Where, oh where is dear little Susie?
Where, oh where is dear little Susie?
Where, oh where is dear little Susie?
Way down yonder in the paw-paw patch!

Pickin’ up paw-paws, put ‘em in her pocket.
Pickin’ up paw-paws, put ‘em in her pocket.
Pickin’ up paw-paws, put ‘em in her pocket.
Way down yonder in the paw-paw patch!

There’s a song on Mike and Peggy Seeger’s collection, American Folk Songs for CHildren,

“Have a little dog, and his name is Don…”
“Have a little box about three feet square… and when I go to travel I put him in there…”
“When I go to travel I travel like an ox… and in my vest pocket I carry that box”

It ends with, “If you want to beat this, you’ll have to tell a lie”

There is also another song..

I Have a little red box
to put my best friend in…
I take him (her) out and say
“How do you do!”
And put him (her) back again!

I’m not sure this was the song you were looking for, but I thought of it immediately when I read your post…

I’ve got something in my pocket.
It belongs across my face.
I keep it very close at hand,
In the most convenient place.
I’m sure you couldn’t guess it,
If you guessed a long, long while.
So I’ll take it out & put it on.
It’s a great big happy smile!

The traditional version of A-tisket, A-tasket goes:

A-tisket, a-tasket,
A green and yellow basket,
I wrote a letter to my love,
But on the way I dropped it.
I dropped it, I dropped it,
And, on the way I dropped it.
A little boy picked it up,
And put it in his pocket.

A different version was sung by Ella Fitzgerald.

Is that the song you’re looking for Janice?

Do you mean…
“A tisket, a tasket, my little yellow basket?”
Something about “I found a letter… and put it in my pocket”
