Yankee Doodle went to town riding on a pony, stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni (CHORUS) Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy! Mind the music and the step, and with the girls be handy! 2. Father and I went down to camp, Along with Captain Gooding; There we saw the men and boys, As thick as hasty pudding. Repeat Chorus: Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy! Mind the music and the step, and with the girls be handy! 3. There was Captain Washington, upon a slapping stallion, Giving orders to his men- I guess there was a million. Repeat Chorus: Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy! Mind the music and the step, and with the girls be handy! 4. Then the feathers on his hat. They looked so very fine, oh! I wanted desperately to get, To give my Jemima. Repeat Chorus: Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy! Mind the music and the step, and with the girls be handy!
