Yankee Doodle Boy Songtext
von Billy Murray

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 Mr. Doodle did
By riding on a pony
I love to listen to the Dixie train
I long to see the girl that 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 for me?


I'm a Yankee Doodle dandy
A Yankee Doodle do or die
A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam
Born on the fourth of July
(Good boy, kid)
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 the Yankee Doodle boy

Father′s name was Hezekiah
Mother's name was Ann Maria
Yankee through and through

Red, white, and blue

Father was so Yankee hearted
When the Spanish war was started
He slipped on a uniform
And hopped upon a pony
My mother's mother was a Yankee true
My father′s father was a Yankee too
That′s going some
For the Yankees, by gum
Oh say, can you see

Anything about my pedigree that's for me?


I′m a Yankee Doodle dandy
A Yankee Doodle do or die
A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam
Born on the fourth of July
(Good boy, kid)
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 the Yankee Doodle boy
