Lyrics of the rhyme:<br /><br />"Yankee Doodle went to town<br />A-riding on a pony<br />Stuck a feather in his cap<br />And called it macaroni.<br />Yankee Doodle, keep it up<br />Yankee Doodle dandy<br />Mind the music and the step<br />And with the girls be handy.<br /><br />Father and I went down to camp<br />Along with Captain Gooding<br />And there we saw the men and boys<br />As thick as hasty pudding.<br />Yankee Doodle, keep it up<br />Yankee Doodle dandy<br />Mind the music and the step<br />And with the girls be handy<br /><br />There was Captain Washington<br />Upon a slapping stallion<br />A-giving orders to his men<br />I guess there were a million.<br />Yankee Doodle, keep it up<br />Yankee Doodle dandy<br />Mind the music and the step<br />And with the girls be handy<br /><br />Yankee Doodle, keep it up<br />Yankee Doodle dandy<br />Mind the music and the step<br />And with the girls be handy."
