Yankee Doodle

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

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

(Chorus)

There was Colonel Washington, upon a strapping stallion,

A-giving orders to his men, I guess there was a million.

(Chorus)

And there I saw a cannon barrel as big as mother's basin,

And every time they touched it off they scampered like the nation.

(Chorus)
