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 Dixie strain
"I long to see ther 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?
I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
A Yankee Doodle, do or die
A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam's
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 in his uniform and hopped upon a pony
My mother's mother was a Yankee free
My father's father was a Yankee too
And that's going some, For the Yankees by gosh
Oh, say can you see Any thing about my pedigree that's phoney?
I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
A Yankee Doodle, do or die
A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam's
Born on the Fourth of July
