Lyrics
Intro
acoustic guitar strumming, rhythmic handclaps on every beat
Chorus
male vocal ensemble
Yankee Doodle went to town
A-riding on a pony
He stuck a feather in his hat
And called it macaroni
Refrain
Yankee Doodle keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
Verse 1
Father and I went down to camp
Along with Captain Gooding
And there we saw the men and boys
As thick as hasty pudding
Refrain
Yankee Doodle keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
Verse 2
And there we saw a thousand men
As rich as Squire David
And what they wasted every day
I wish it could be saved
Refrain
Yankee Doodle keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
Verse 3
And there they ate it every day
To keep a house all winter
They have so much that I'll be bound
They eat it when they're winter [unintelligible]
Refrain
Yankee Doodle keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
Verse 4
And there I see a swamping gun
Large as a log of maple
Upon a deuced little cart
A load for father's cattle
Refrain
Yankee Doodle keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
Verse 5
And every time they shoot it off
It takes a horn of powder
And makes a noise like father's gun
Only a nation louder
Refrain
Yankee Doodle keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
Verse 6
I went as nigh to one myself
As Josiah's underpinning
And father went as nigh again
I thought the deuce was in him
Refrain
Yankee Doodle keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
Verse 7
Cousin Simon grew so bold
I thought he would have cocked it
It scared me so I shrinked it off
And hung by father's pocket
Refrain
Yankee Doodle keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
Verse 8
And Captain Davis had a gun
He kind of clapped his hand on
And stuck a crooked stabbing iron
Upon the little end on
Refrain
Yankee Doodle keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
