American Songs - Yankee Doodle Dandy lyrics

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy

A Yankee Doodle, do or die

A real live nephew of my uncle Sam's

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

I'm the kid that's 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

By riding on a pony

I love to listen to the Dixey strain

"I long to see the girl I left behind me"

And that ain't a josh

She's a Yankee, by gosh

Oh, say can you see

Anything about a Yankee that's a phoney?

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy

A Yankee Doodle, do or die

A real live nephew of my uncle Sam's

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 Hezikiah

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 upon his uniform

And hopped up on a pony

My mother's mother was a Yankee true

My father's father was a Yankee too

And that's going some

For the Yankees, by gum

Oh, say can you see

Anything about my pedigree that's phoney?

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy

A Yankee Doodle, do or die

A real live nephew of my uncle Sam's

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
