Here are the lyrics to Yankee Doodle…
Yankee Doodle
Yankee Doodle when 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 girls be handy.
Father and I went down to camp,
Along with Captain Gooding;
There we saw the men and boys,
As thick as hasty pudding.
Chorus
And there we a saw a thousand men,
As rich as Squire David;
And what they wasted ev’ry day,
I wish it could be saved.
Chorus
And there was Captain Washington,
Upon a slapping stallion;
A-giving orders to his men;
I guess there was a million.
Chorus
But I can’t tell you half I saw,
They kept up such a smother;
So I took my hat off, made a bow,
And scampered home to mother.
Chorus
