Yankee Doodle
Yankee Doodle came to town A-riding on a pony, Stuck a feather in his cap And called it macaroni.
Fath'r and I went down to camp, Along with Captain Goodwood, 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.
And there they'd fife away like fun And play on cornstalk fiddles And some had ribbons red as blood All bound around their middles.
Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy, Mind the music and the step, And with the girls be handy.
And 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.
And there I see a little keg, Its head were made of leather They knocked upon with little sticks Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And called the folks together.
Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy, Mind the music and the step, And with the girls be handy.
And there they had a swamping gun As big as a log of maple On a mighty little cart A load for father's cattle.
Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy, Mind the music and the step, And with the girls be handy.
And every time they fire it off It took a horn of powder It made a noise like father's gun Only a nation louder.
Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy, Mind the music and the step, And with the girls be handy.
It scared me so, I hooked it off, Nor stopped, as I remember, Nor turned about till I got home, Locked up in mother's chamber.
Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy, Mind the music and the step, And with the girls be handy.
