w:Mind the mu-sic and the step And with the girls be han-dy
W:Fath?r and I went down to camp
W:Along with Captain Goodin?,
W:And there we saw the men and boys,
W:As thick as hasty puddin?.
W:
W:Chorus:
W:
W:Yankee Doodle keep it up,
W:Yankee Doodle Dandy,
W:Mind the music and the step,
W:And with the girls be handy.
W:
W:And there we saw a thousand men,
W:As rich as Squire David;
W:And what they wasted ev?ry day,
W:I wish it could be saved.
W:
W:And there was Captain Washington
W:Upon a slapping stallion,
W:A-giving orders to his men;
W:I guess there was a million.
W:
W:And then the feathers on his hat,
W:They looked so ?tarnal fine, ah!
W:I wanted peskily to get
W:To give to my Jemima.
W:
W:And there I saw a little keg,
W:Its heads were made of leather,
W:They knocked upon?t with little sticks,
W:To call the folks together.
W:
W:And there they?d fife away like fun,
W:And play on cornstalk fiddles,
W:And some had ribbons red as blood,
W:All bound about their middles.
W:
W:The troopers, too, would gallop up
W:And fire right in our faces;
W:It scared me almost half to death
W:To see them run such races.
W:
W:Uncle Sam came there to change
W:Some pancakes and some onions,
W:For ?lasses cake to carry home
W:To give his wife and young ones.
W:
W:But I can?t tell half I see,
W:They kept up such a smother;
W:So I took my hat off, made a bow,
W:And scampered home to mother.
