Lyrics:

Yankee doodle went to town
Riding on a pony
Stack a feather in his hat
And called it Macarony

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
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


There he saw a thousand men
As rich as esquire David
And what they wasted every day
I wished it could be saved

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


And there I saw a pumpkin shell
As big as mother's basin
And every time they touched it off
They scampered like the nation

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