Yankee Doodle

Yankee Doodle went to town, A-riding on a pony¹.
Stuck a feather in his hat, 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 Good win.
There were the men and boys as thick as hasty puddin’
CHORUS
And there was Captain Washington, upon a slapping stallion.
Giving orders to his men, I guess there were a million
Yankee Doodle is a tune², that comes in mighty³ hand.
The enemy all runs away, at Yankee Doodle Dandy.
