Yankee Doodle went to town
riding on a pony
stuck a feather in his cap
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
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 wwe saw a thousand men
as rich as squire David
What they wasted every day
I wish it could be saved
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
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
Then the feathers on his hat
They looked so very fine oh
I wanted desperately to get
To give my Jemima
Yankee Doodle keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
and with the girls be handy
