Chorus
I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy, a Yankee Doodle, do or die
A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam born on the Fourth of July
I’ve got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
She’s my Yankee Doodle joy
Yankee Doodle came to London just to ride the ponies
I am the Yankee Doodle Boy
Father’s name was Hezikiah, Mother’s name was Ann Maria
Yanks through and through (Red, white and blue)
Father was so Yankee hearted when the Spanish War was started
He slipped on his uniform and hopped up on a pony
My mother’s mother was a Yankee true
My father’s father was a Yankee too and that’s going some
For the Yankees, by gum
(Oh, say can you see anything about my pedigree that’s phoney?)
