Yankee Doodle went to town, Riding on a pony.
Stuck a feather in his hat, And call it macaroni.

Stuck a feather in his hat, And call it macaroni.
Yankee Doodle keep i up, Yankee Doodle dandy.
Mind the music and the steps, And with the girls be handy.

Yankee Doodle keep i up, Yankee Doodle dandy.
Mind the music and the steps, And with the girls be handy.
