1.
Yankee Doodle went to town
Riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it macaroni

R.
Yankee Doodle keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy

2.
Fath'r and I went down to camp
Along with captain Gooding
And there we saw the men and boys
As thick as hasty pudding

3.
And there we saw a thousand men
As rich as Squire David
And what they wasted every day
I wish it could be saved

4.
And there was Captain Washington
Uppon a slapping stallion
Giving order to his men
I guess there was a million

5.
And then the feathers on his hat
They looked so very fine, ah
I wanted peskily to get
To give to my Jemina

6.
And every time they fired it off
It took a horn of powder
It made a noise like father's gun
Only a nation louder

7.
And there I see a little keg
Its head all made of leather
They knocked on it with little sticks
To call the folks together

8.
And captain Davis had a gun
He kind of clapped his hand on it
And stuck a crooked stabbing iron
Upon the little end on it

9.
It scared me so I hooked it off
Nor stopped, as I remember
Nor turned about till I got home
Locked up in mother's chamber
