1. Yankee Doodle went to town
A-riding on a pony,
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it macaroni'.

2. Chorus:
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.

3. Fath'r and I went down to camp,
Along with Captain Gooding,
And there we saw the men and
boys
As thick as chocolate pudding.

4. Alternate Chorus:
Yankee Doodle-doodle-doo,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
All the ladies are so smart
And sweet as sugar candy

5. And there I see a pumpkin shell
As big as mother's bason,
And every time they touched it off
They scampered like the nation

6. Alternate Chorus:
Yankee Doodle-doodle-doo,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
All the ladies are so smart
And sweet as sugar candy

7. And there was Cap'n Washington,
And gentle folks about him;
They say he's grown so 'tarnal proud
He will not ride without em'.

8. Chorus:
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.

9. The flaming ribbons in his hat,
They looked so very fine, ah,
I wanted to get them so I
could give them to Jemima

10. Alternate Chorus:
Yankee Doodle-doodle-doo,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
All the ladies are so smart
And sweet as sugar candy

11. Yankee Doodle went to town
because his nose was runny.
He would have bought some stuff
for it,
But he had lost his money

12. Yankee Doodle went to town
riding on a elephant,
stuck his head into its mouth
and said, "You need a breath
mint.”
