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

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 Gooding,
And there we saw both men and boys
as thick as hasty pudding.

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

There was Captain Washington
upon a slapping stallion,
Giving orders to his men –
there must have been a million.

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