YANKEE DOODlE
Yankee Doodle is the tune,
Americans delight in;
It will do to whistle sing or play,
And just the thing for fighting.
Yankee Doodle, boys, hurray!
Down outside, up the middleYankee Doodle, fa, sol, la,
Trumpet, drum, and fiddle.
Should Great Britain, Spain, or France,
Wage war upon our shore, sir,
We will lead them such a woundy dance,
They will find their toes are sore, sir,
Chorus Should a haughty foe expect,
To give our boys a caning,
We guess they will find the lads have learnt
A little a bit of training.
Yankee Doodle, etc.
I will wager now a mug of flip,
And bring it on the table;
Put Yankee boys aboard a ship,
To beat them they are able.
ChoursThen if they go to a.rgufy,
Irather quess they will find too,
'l,le have got a. set of tonguey blades,
To out-talk them, if th~y a re amind to .
America is dandy place,
The people .a.re all brothers,
And when one's got a pump~n pie,
He shares it with the others.
We work, and sleep, and pray in peace,
By industry we thrive, sir;
And if a drone will not do his part,
We will scout him from the htve, sir.
And then on Independence Dl"y,
And who's a better right to?
We eat ann drink, a.nd sing and play,
And have a dan~e at night too.
Ovr girls are fair, our boys are tough,
~lr old folks wise and healthy;
And when we have every thing enough,
We count that we are weal t}:ly:
We are happy, free, and well to do,
And cannot want for knowledge;
For almost every mile or two,
You find a School or College.
The land we till is all our own,
Whatever the price, we paid it;
Therefore we will fight till all is blue,
Should any dare invade it.
