I liked this song alot when I was young, Cagney was great.
Verse 1
I'm the kid that's all the candy,
1 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
Dixie strain, I long to see
the girl I left behind me; That ain't a josh, She's a Yankee, by gosh.
Oh, say can you see, Anything about a Yankee that's a phony?
Verse 2
Father's name was Hezikiah, Mother's name was Ann Maria,
2 Yanks 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 phony?
Chorus
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 the Yankee Doodle Boy.
