Yankee Doodle Dandy Lyrics

Yankee Doodle Dandy lyrics

Father and I went down to eamp,

Along with Captain Gooding;

And
there we saw the 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,

A-giving orders to his
men,

I guess there was a million. 



Yankee doodle, keep it up,


Yankee doodle dandy; 

Mind the music and the step, 

And with
the girls be handy. 



And then the feathers on his hat,

They
looked so' tarnal fin-a,

I wanted pockily to get

To give to my
Jemima. 



Yankee doodle, keep it up, 

Yankee doodle dandy;


Mind the music and the step, 

And with the girls be handy. 





And then we saw a swamping gun,

Large as a log of
maple;

Upon a deuced little cart,

A load for father's cattle. 



Yankee doodle, keep it up, 

Yankee doodle dandy; 

Mind
the music and the step, 

And with the girls be handy. 



And
every time they shoot it off,

It takes a horn of powder;

It makes a
noise like father's gun,

Only a nation louder. 



Yankee
doodle, keep it up, 

Yankee doodle dandy; 

Mind the music and the
step, 

And with the girls be handy. 



I went as nigh to one
myself,

As' Siah's underpinning;

And father went as nigh agin,

I thought the deuce was in him. 



Yankee doodle, keep it up, 

Yankee doodle dandy; 

Mind the music and the step, 

And with the
girls be handy. 



We saw a little barrel, too,

The heads were
made of leather;

They knocked upon it with little clubs,

And called
the folks together. 



Yankee doodle, keep
