Yankee Doodle Dandy

        Yankee Doodle went to town
        A-riding on a pony
        Stuck a feather in his hat
        And called it macaroni.

        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
        And there we saw the men and boys
        As thick as hasty pudding.

        Yankee Doodle, keep it up
        Yankee Doodle dandy
        Mind the music and the step
        And with the girls be handy

        There was Captain Washington
        Upon a slapping stallion
        A-giving orders to his men
        I guess there was a million.

        Yankee Doodle, keep it up
        Yankee Doodle dandy
        Mind the music and the step
        And with the girls be handy.

        I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
        A Yankee Doodle do or die
        A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam's
        Born on the Fourth of July
        I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
        She's my Yankee Doodle joy
        Yankee Doodle came to London
        Just to ride the ponies
        I'm a Yankee Doodle boy!

        Yankee Doodle went to town
        A-riding on a pony
        Stuck a feather in his hat
        And called it macaroni.

        Yankee Doodle, keep it up
        Yankee Doodle dandy
        Mind the music and the step
        And with the girls be handy.
