18. Yankee Doodle

Yankee Doodle went to town

A-riding on a pony

Stuck a feather in his hat

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

Father and I went down to camp

Along with Captain Gooding

And there we saw the men and boys

As thick as hasty pudding

And there was Captain Washington

Upon a slapping stallion

A-giving orders to his men

I guess there was a million

Uncle Sam came there to change

Some pancakes and some onions

For lasses cake to carry home

To give his wife and young ones
