Father and I went down to camp
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
And there was Captain Washington
Upon a strapping stallion
Giving orders to his men
There must have been a million
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
And there they had a swamping gun
As big as log of maple
Upon a very 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 touched it off
It used a horn of powder
It made a noise like father's gun
Only a nation louder! (Whoo!)
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
There we saw a thousand men
All rich as Squire David
What they wasted every day
I wished we could have saved it
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
There they all went, fight for fun
Or play on cornstalk fiddles
Some had sashes red as blood
All wrapped around their middles
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
There they had a little keg
All bound around with leather
They beat upon it with some sticks
To call them in together
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
And there was General Washington
The gentle folks around him
They say he grows so tarnal proud
He will not ride without them
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
And there they had a pumpkin shell
As big as mother's basin
And every time they touched it off
They scampered like the nation
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
And there they all would gallop up
And shoot right in our faces
It made me almost faint from fear
To see them run such races
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
I can't tell you all I saw
They kept up such a bother
I took my hat off, made a bow
And scampered home to mother
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
Yankee Doodle came to town
A-riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it Macaroni!
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
Oh, Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy
