Yankee Doodle went to town
A-Riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it macaroni
(Chorus)
Yankee Doodle keep it up
Yankee Doodle Dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
Father and I went down to camp
Along with Captain Gooding
There were all the men and boys
As thick as hasty pudding
(Chorus)
And there was Cap’n Washington
Upon a strapping stallion
Giving orders to his men
I guess there were a million
(Chorus)
And there we saw a thousand men
As rich as Squire David,
And what they wasted every day,
I wish it could be saved
(Chorus)
Yankee Doodle is a tune
That comes in mighty handy
The enemy all runs away at
Yankee Doodle Dandy
(Chorus)
From Farmer Boy
