YANKEE DOODLE BOY (George M. Cohan) ("Little Johnny Jones")
I'm the kid that 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, riding on a pony.
I love to listen to the Dixie strain,
"I long to see the girl I left behind me," and ain't that a josh.
She's a Yankee, by gosh!
Oh, say can you see anything about a Yankee that's phony?
I'm a Yankee Doodle dandy, a Yankee doodle do or die, a real live nephew of
my
Uncle Sam, 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 a Yankee Doodle boy.
Father's name was Hezekiah. 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 up on a pony,
My mother's mother was a Yankee true. My father's father was Yankee, too, and
that's going some, for the Yankees, by gum.
Oh, say can you see anything about my pedigree that's phony?
I'm a Yankee Doodle dandy, a Yankee doodle do or die, a real live nephew of
my
Uncle Sam, 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 a Yankee Doodle boy.
