Yankee Doodle Dandy

Yankee Doodle Dandy Alternative Lyrics

Yankee Doodle went to town riding on a gopher,
Bumped into a trash can and this is what fell over
40 pounds of greasy slimy gopher guts,
Mutilated monkey meats little birdy stinky feet
French fried eyeballs rolling in a pool of mud
Gee I forgot my fork so they gave me
Ham sandwich puss on top eagle eyeballs
Camel's snot
All these things they cost a lot
So they gave me sugar with vomit on top bop.

Long Version

And then the feathers on his hat
They looked so' tarnal fin-a
I wanted pockily to get
To give to my Jemima.

Chorus

And then we saw a swamping gun
Large as a log of maple
Upon a deuced little cart
A load for father's cattle.

Chorus

And every time they shoot it off
It takes a horn of powder
It makes a noise like father's gun
Only a nation louder.

Chorus

I went as nigh to one myself
As' Siah's underpinning
And father went as nigh agin
I thought the deuce was in him.
We saw a little barrel, too
The heads were made of leather
They knocked upon it with little clubs
And called the folks together.

Chorus

And there they'd fife away like fun
And play on cornstalk fiddles
And some had ribbons red as blood
All bound around their middles.
The troopers, too, would gallop up
And fire right in our faces
It scared me almost to death
To see them run such races.

Chorus

Uncle Sam came there to change
Some pancakes and some onions
For' lasses cake to carry home
To give his wife and young ones.

Chorus

But I can't tell half I see
They kept up such a smother
So I took my hat off, made a bow
And scampered home to mother.

Chorus

Cousin Simon grew so bold
I thought he would have cocked it
It scared me so I streaked it off
And hung by father's pocket.

Chorus

And there I saw a pumpkin shell
As big as mother's basin
And every time they touched it off
They scampered like the nation.

Other Verses:

And there was Captain Washington,
With gentlefolks about him,
They say he's gown so 'tarnal proud
He will not ride without them.

Chorus

There came Gen'ral Washington
Upon a snow-white charger
He looked as big as all outdoors
And thought that he was larger.

Chorus

Additional Version

He's a Yankee Doodle dandy,
Yankee Doodle through and through.
A real live cousin of old uncle sam born of the red,white, and blue.
He's a Yankee Doodle sweet-heart Yankee Doodle he's our boy.
Yankee Doodle went to town riding on a pony,
He is our Yankee Doodle boy
