Yankee Doodle Yankee Doodle went to town, A-Riding on a pony, 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 Goodwin, And there we saw the men and boys, As thick as hasty pudding. [chorus] There we saw a thousand men, As rich as Squire David, And what they wasted ev’ry day I wish it could be saved. [chorus] There I saw a little keg, It’s head all made of leather, They knocked on it with little sticks, To call the folks together. [chorus] And there was Captain Washington, Upon a slapping stallion, A-giving orders to his men, I guess there were a million. [chorus]
