Yankee Doodle Nursery Poem Lyrics

Yankee Doodle Nursery Poem Lyrics [EN]

Yankee Doodle went to town

A-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.

Father and I went down to camp,

Along with Captain Gooding,

And there we saw the men and boys

As thick as hasty pudding.


There was Captain Washington,

Upon a slapping stallion,

Giving orders to his men

I guess there were a million.
