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.
                   
Fath'r and I went down to camp,
Along with  cap'n Goodin',
And there we saw the men and boys
As thick as hasty puddin'.

CHORUS

Yankee doodle liked to cook
Things like minestrone
People came from all around to 
try his maccoroni

And when he cooked 
he did a dance 
Some people thought it funny
But when they went and tried his food 
It felt good in their tummys

He worked up the nerve to tell his dad
he didn’t want to fight
All he wanted was  to cook
because it felt so right
