Original title: The Yankee Doodle Boy]



[1st verse:]

I'm the kid that's all the candy

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy

I'm glad I am

(So's Uncle Sam)

I'm a real live Yankee Doodle

Made my name and fame and boodle

Just like Mister Doodle did, by riding on a pony

I love to listen to the Dixey [Dixie] strain

"I long to see the girl I left behind me"

And that ain't a josh

She's a Yankee, by gosh

(Oh, say can you see

Anything about a Yankee that's a phoney?)



[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



[2nd verse:]

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 upon 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
