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 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 phony?)
Chorus
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.
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 on his uniform and hopped upon 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 phony?)
