Lyrics

Yankee Doodle never went to town I just discovered the story was phony Let me give you all the real lowdown He didn't even own a pony He was really very short and fat While in the story so skinny and moany And so hungry that he ate his hat And called the fella macaroni Underneath the chestnut tree He and the blacksmith would sip that tea Then he'd bring out his uniform on low down That's how he went to town Yankee Doodle tried to leave one day Took his belongings and mounted his saddle But he never got it on his way 'Cause he didn't have a pony And the fairy tale is phony How could Yankee Doodle go to town?
